사무엘하 23:1 탈무드 참조: Jerusalem Talmud Sukkah & Avot DeRabbi Natan, Recension B

HALAKHAH: “The pious ones and people of good deeds.” Some of them were saying, blessed be my youth which did not shame my old age; these are the people of good deeds. But others were saying, blessed be my old age which atoned for my youth. Both of these were saying, blessed be who never sinned; and he who sinned may be forgiven. Hillel the Elder, if he saw them wantonly transgressing said to them, even though I am here, who is here? Does He need acclamations? Is it not written⁷⁵Dan. 7:10., thousands upon thousands serve Him, and myriads of myriads stand before Him? If he saw them acting correctly he was saying, if I am not here who is here? Even though there are many acclaims before Him, the acclaim of Israel is beloved more than anything else. What is the reason? And the pleasantness of the songs of Israel⁷⁶2S. 23:1.; enthroned on the praises of Israel⁷⁷Ps. 22:4..

16. Israel give forth song, and the ministering angels give forth song. Israel—whence? As it is said: "Hear, O Israel: the LORD our God, the LORD is One" (Deuteronomy 6:4); and the ministering angels—whence? As it is said: "When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy" (Job 38:7)—and you do not know whose praise is the more praiseworthy. When Scripture says: "The anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet singer of Israel" (2 Samuel 23:1)—the praise with which you praise before Me is more praiseworthy than that of the ministering angels. And thus it says: "But You are holy, enthroned upon the praises of Israel" (Psalms 22:4).
