Talmud su Salmi 145:19

רְצוֹן־יְרֵאָ֥יו יַעֲשֶׂ֑ה וְֽאֶת־שַׁוְעָתָ֥ם יִ֝שְׁמַ֗ע וְיוֹשִׁיעֵֽם׃

He said to them: There should happen to me these things60A formula of affirmation, taking the place of an oath.; I was concentrating on my prayer and did not notice! Rebbi Isaac ben Eleazar61This Amoraic addition belongs to the explanation given in the insert and is not part of the baraita tradition. said, the Holy One, praise to Him, created a well under his foot soles, to confirm what has been said (Ps. 145: 19): “He will do the will of those who fear Him, He will hear their entreaties and save them.”
