אִם־גָּ֭מַלְתִּי שֽׁוֹלְמִ֥י רָ֑ע וָאֲחַלְּצָ֖ה צוֹרְרִ֣י רֵיקָֽם׃
Jeżelim odpłacił przyjacielowi złem, ja co wyzwoliłem prześladującego mnie niewinnie.
Duties of the Heart
(3) To cultivate a broad heart (forbearance -TL) and ability to bear patiently words and deeds one hates, [and do so] for the Creator's sake, as written "If I repaid the one who did evil to me, Or have plundered him who without cause was my enemy" (Tehilim 7:5), and "Do not say, 'As he did to me, so will I do to him; I will repay the man according to his deeds'" (Mishlei 24:29), and our sages taught (Gitin 36b): "those who are insulted, but do not retaliate, who hear themselves humiliated and do not respond, serve (G-d) with love and rejoice [even] in suffering, on them the verse (Shoftim 5:31) says: "those that love Him will be like the sun when it goes forth in its might". The sages refer to this as "Ma'avir Al Midosav" (lets offenses pass and is forgiving).
