Tosefta su Salmi 34:78
Tosefta Berakhot
Rebbi Meir used to say, “There is not [even a] single person among the Jewish people who does not perform one hundred Mitzvot (commandments) every day. He reads the Shema, says Berachot (blessings) before it and after it, eats his bread and says the Berachot before it and after it, prays Shemoneh Esreh three times, and does all other commandments and says Berachot over them.” And also Rebbi Meir used to say, “There is not [even a] single person among the Jewish people whom the Mitzvot do not surround. Tefillin (Phylacteries) is on his head, and Tefillin is on his arm, and Mezuzah (scroll on the doorpost) is on his door, and the four Tzitzit (fringes) surround him. And regarding them (i.e. these seven commandments) David said, ‘Seven times per day I praise You for the laws of Your righteousness.’ (Psalms 119:164). And when he (i.e. David) entered the bathhouse and saw the circumcision on his flesh [he praised God further for the eighth commandment that is physically on him] as it is said, ‘For the conductor, for the eighth, a song of David.’ (Psalms 12:1) And it says, ‘Hashem’s angel camps around those who fear Him and delivers them.’ (Psalms 34:8).”
