시편 77:78의 Halakhah

‘Any my prayer is [that] He quicken his plan [and] hasten the refuge for us’ – that He not continue to chastise us, even if we know that He has done all of these [things] from His mercy; ‘as in the way that a man chastises his son, etc.’ And [it is] like the statement of the Psalmist, peace be upon him, “Has God forgotten how to pity; has He in anger shattered His compassion? Selah” (Psalms 77:10) – the understanding of which is that He forgot His revealed and clearly obvious pity, as He concealed the mercy within His anger, and [so] He bursts out to chastise us with mercy. But we have already been chastised, ‘have been doubly smitten.’ May the Lord [thus] be increasingly appeased, may He ‘bring close our dispersed,’ ‘gather our exiles’ [and] ‘guide us in paths of righteousness’ and quiet. [May] our Beloved have us graze and bring us to our holy mountain. Then ‘Zion will rejoice’ [and] Jerusalem will be glad, speedily in our days, Amen, Selah.
