Psalmów 91:14 Kabała: The Beginning & Sha'arei Orah

93. Because each name represents a specific Divine action or aspect, it is important to have the proper intentions and concentration when uttering them during prayer. One’s prayers thus become more proper and acceptable before HaShem-יהו"ה, as stated in Scripture,¹⁰⁰Psalms 91:14 “I will uplift him, for he knows my name.” All this, of course, is in accordance with the righteousness of the individual and the degree of his understanding of these matters.¹⁰¹See Kinat HaShem Tzvaot, Part 1.

Now, there are three ways that the Sefirah of “I-Anee-אנ״י receives from the Sefirah of “Nothing-Ayin-אין.” The first way is hinted in the verse,³²³Esther 2:17 “He set the Crown of Kingship-Keter Malchut-כתר מלכות upon her head.”³²⁴That is, in a direct manner. The second way is hinted in the verse,³²⁵Habakkuk 3:19 “HaShem Lord-HaShem Adona”y-יהו״ה אדנ״י [pronounced Elohi”m Adona”y-אלהי"ם אדנ"י] is my strength.”³²⁶That is, through the Sefirah of Understanding-Binah, which is written as HaShem-יהו״ה and pronounced Elohi”m-אלהי״ם, as explained before at length. The third way is hinted in the verse,³²⁷Psalms 135:21 “Blessed is HaShem-יהו"ה from Zion-Tziyon-ציון, who dwells in Jerusalem-ירושלים.”³²⁸That is, through the Sefirah of Splendor-Tiferet which is HaShem-יהו״ה, blessed is He, who is blessed – meaning, drawn down – through Tziyon-ציון, which is the Sefirah of Foundation-Yesod, to Kingship-Malchut, which is Yerushalayim-ירושלים, as explained before at length. About a person who knows how to direct his intentions in these three ways, and knows how to direct the conduits to the Sefirot, the verse states,³²⁹Psalms 91:14 “I will set him on high, for he knows My Name.”
