Midrash su Salmi 101:6

It is taught that Rabbi said: What is the proper way for a man to react to the reproof of his neighbor? He should accept the rebuke, for as long as rebuke is accepted in the world, ease, goodness, and blessing will prevail as well, and evil will vanish from the world, as it is said: But to them that rebuke shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them (Prov. 24:25). That is, to the one who rebukes and to the one who is rebuked. Others say: He will be strengthened by his increased faith, as it is said: Mine eyes are upon the faithful of the land, and they may dwell with Me (Ps. 101:6).

(Ps. 37:3:) TRUST IN THE LORD AND DO GOOD; SETTLE THE LAND AND MAINTAIN FIDELITY. R. Haggai said in the name of R. Isaac: Interpret this verse by transposition.¹⁶Tanh., Deut. 4:11; PRK 10:2. DO GOOD; TRUST IN THE LORD. It is comparable to a market commissioner who went out to inspect the measures. When a certain person saw him, he began hiding from him. He said to him: Why are you hiding from me? Look to your measures, and do not be afraid. This is what is written: TRUST IN THE LORD AND DO GOOD. [SETTLE THE LAND AND MAINTAIN FIDELITY. Bring about the settlement of the land. Sow, plant, and maintain ancestral fidelity.¹⁷Here again is interpretation by transposition. Maintaining fidelity enables the settlement of the land. It is so written (in Ps. 101:6): MY EYES ARE ON THE FAITHFUL OF THE LAND <THAT THEY MAY DWELL WITH ME>.

It is written (in Ps. 37:3), “Trust in the Lord and do good; settle the land and maintain yourself with faith.” R. Haggai said in the name of R. Isaac, “Interpret this verse by transposition, like this:⁸PRK 10:2. Do good; trust in the Lord. It is comparable to a market commissioner who went out to inspect the measures. When a certain person saw him, he began hiding from him. He said to him, ‘Why are you hiding from me? Look to your measures, and do not be afraid.’ This is what is written, ‘Trust in the Lord and do good.’” (Ps. 37:3, cont.:) “Settle the land and maintain yourself with faith.” [Have] faith, which settles the Divine Presence in the land. Another interpretation: Bring about the settlement of the land, sow and plant. Another interpretation (of Ps. 37:3), “settle the land”: Make His staff dwell in the land. (Ps. 37:3, cont.:) “And maintain yourself with faith,” maintain yourself from the faith of the forefathers.⁹Here again is interpretation by transposition. Maintaining faith enables the settlement of the land. It is so written (in Ps. 101:6), “My eyes are on the faithful of the land that they may dwell with Me.” R. Joshua of Sikhnin said in the name of R. Levi, “Israel atones for itself before the Omnipresent by merit from [observing] two commandments, [i.e.,] by merit from the Sabbath and by merit from tithes: By merit from the Sabbath, since it is written (in Is. 58:13), ‘If you refrain from trampling the Sabbath.’ What is written after it (in vs. 14)? ‘Then you shall take delight in the Lord.’ By merit from tithes, since it is written (in Deut. 26:11), ‘Then you shall rejoice with all the good.’¹⁰The context here concerns first fruits, and the following verse (12) mentions the tithe of the third year. And good can only [mean] Torah, since it is written (in Prov.4:2) ‘For I gave you good instruction; [do not abandon my Torah].’” For that reason Moses warned Israel (in Deut. 14:22), “You shall surely tithe.”
