Musar su Salmi 34:16

עֵינֵ֣י יְ֭הוָה אֶל־צַדִּיקִ֑ים וְ֝אָזְנָ֗יו אֶל־שַׁוְעָתָֽם׃

Gli occhi dell'Eterno sono rivolti ai giusti e le sue orecchie sono aperte al loro grido.

Rabbi Abba, Rabbi Acha and Rabbi Yose were walking along the road from Tiberius to Tzippori. While they were walking they saw Rabbi Elazar coming towards them accompanied by Rabbi Chiya. Rabbi Abba said, “Surely by joining up with them along the way we will connect ourselves with the Shechinah.” So they waited until they caught up with them. Rabbi Abba said, “This is surely the case, for it is written, ‘The eyes of Hashem are upon the righteous,’ that is, to watch over them so that the Side of Evil does not approach them. Now Heaven’s assistance will be here and all the supervision from above will be here and the Side of Evil will have no dominion….

Kav HaYashar

The process of its ascent is as follows: In each of the four directions of the world there are officers and ministers stationed On High. To begin with, the prayer comes before one of these appointed ministers, in front of whom are nine entrances, beside which are four other officers and ministers.. All of these are overseen by a single angel named ABULYEL. This angel goes out to greet the prayer, accompanied by all the other angels. Then they take this prayer and kiss it, elevating it to the second firmament and bringing it to an awesome place where there are twelve entrances. Over each of these entrances are assigned many appointed ministers and hosts. Beside the twelfth gate is a single minister named ANEL who is appointed over all twelve gates. When Israel’s prayer comes before him he proclaims with a loud voice, “Open the gates and allow a righteous nation to enter, who keep the faith” (Yeshayahu 26:2). Then the gates are opened and the prayer ascends through all those entrances. Then another minister name AZRYEL is aroused, who is appointed over sixty myriad camps of angels. These all take hold of that prayer, proclaiming, “The eyes of Hashem are upon the righteous and His ears are towards their cry; the face of Hashem is upon the doers of evil to cut off their memory from the earth” (Tehillim 34:16-17).
