Talmud su Salmi 103:20

בָּרֲכ֥וּ יְהוָ֗ה מַלְאָ֫כָ֥יו גִּבֹּ֣רֵי כֹ֭חַ עֹשֵׂ֣י דְבָר֑וֹ לִ֝שְׁמֹ֗עַ בְּק֣וֹל דְּבָרֽוֹ׃

Benedici il Signore, angeli suoi, forti potenti, che adempiono la sua parola, ascoltando la voce della sua parola.

Jerusalem Talmud Berakhot

Rebbi Huna said: He who sees the priests in the synagogue, at the first blessing he must say (Ps. 103:20) “praise the Lord, His messengers.” At the second blessing (v. 21) “praise the Lord all His hosts.” At the third blessing (v. 22) “praise the Lord all His creatures.” At Musaf at the first blessing he must say (Ps. 134:1) “A song of ascent. Praise the Lord all servants of the Lord, who are standing in the Lord’s House in the nights.” At the second blessing (v. 2) “lift your hands in holiness.” At the third blessing (v. 3) “May the Lord bless you from Zion.” When there are four blessings then for the third he repeats the first, for the fourth the second62Since the priestly blessing is regular part of the morning Amidah, the instruction on how to behave during the blessing is added here. The Babli (Soṭa 39b) gives separate verses also for days of three and four blessings and rejects the last selection of the Yerushalmi..

Tractate Derekh Eretz Zuta

Say not, ‘That man is wise8Endowed by nature with great intellectual gifts. but I am not wise’,9i.e. I am not so endowed and therefore it is useless for me to study. because you did not attend [upon scholars] as he did.10One must make every effort to gain knowledge; cf. Meg. 6b (Sonc. ed., p. 30). Say not, ‘That man is rich but I am not rich’,11Although I am more God-fearing than he. because not everyone has the privilege to enjoy two tables.12i.e. enjoy prosperity in this world and the bliss of the hereafter. Say not, ‘That man is handsome but I am ugly’, because at the hour of death man becomes carrion; furthermore [animal] carrion may be sold to a Gentile or may be given as a gift, but no one cares for human carrion.13So in death the difference between the handsome and the ugly ceases to exist. Say not, ‘That man is righteous but I am not righteous, because both of you are destined to give an account before the Most High. Say not, ‘That man is strong but I am weak’,14And therefore unable to control my sinful desires. because strength is only with [them who fulfil] the Torah, as it is stated, Bless the Lord, ye angels of His, ye mighty in strength, that fulfil His word, hearkening unto the voice of His word.15Ps. 103, 20. So occupy yourself with the study of the Torah and you will increase moral strength.

Avot D'Rabbi Natan

Ben Zoma would say: Who is wise? One who learns from every person, as it says (Psalms 119:99), “From all my teachers I gained insight.”<br>Who is the humblest of all? One who is humble like Moses our teacher, as it says (Numbers 12:33), “And the man Moses was exceedingly humble.”
Who is the richest of all? One who is happy with what he has, as it says (Psalms 128:1), “You will eat from the work of your hands, and you will be happy and prosperous.”<br>Who is the strongest of all? One who is able to conquer his desire, as it says (Proverbs 16:32), “Better to be forbearing than mighty, to have self-control than to conquer a city.” And one who conquers his desire is considered as if he had conquered a city full of warriors, as it says (Proverbs 21:22), “One wise man prevailed over a city of warriors.” The true warriors are warriors in Torah, as it says (Psalms 103:20), “Mighty warriors do His bidding.” Some say these are the angels who serve God, as it says (ibid.), “Bless the Eternal, His angels, [mighty warriors.]” And some say: One who can turn an enemy into his friend.
