Kabbalah sa Mga Awit 101:7: Sha'arei Kedusha & Sha'arei Orah

Falsehood. A person who speaks falsehood denies the God of Israel, giving credence to another god, called falsehood. A person such as this is in the category of those who shall not greet the countenance of the Indwelling Presence of HaShem-יהו״ה, blessed is He, the Shechinah. This is as stated,⁵⁷⁹Psalms 101:7 “One who tells lies shall not be established before My eyes.” A person such as this is not considered to be included amongst the Jewish people, about whom it is written,⁵⁸⁰Zephaniah 3:13 “The remnant of Israel will not commit corruption, they will not speak falsehood, and a deceitful tongue will not be found in their mouth,” and the lifespan of such a person will be shortened.

One who defrauds is amongst the four classes of people who do not receive the countenance of the Indwelling Presence of HaShem-יהו״ה, blessed is He (the Shechinah).⁶³²Talmud Bavli, Sotah 42a; Sanhedrin 103a This is as stated,⁶³³Psalms 101:7 “In the midst of My house shall not dwell a practitioner of deceit; one who tells lies shall not be established before My eyes.” As stated before, in the section on falsehood,⁶³⁴Talmud Bavli, Chagigah 14a “Jerusalem was not destroyed until trustworthy men ceased to exist in it.” In contrast, regarding one who conducts himself faithfully, with honesty and integrity, it is written,⁶³⁵Psalms 15:1 “HaShem-יהו״ה, who may sojourn in Your tent? Who may dwell on Your holy mountain? One who walks in perfect innocence, who does what is right and speaks the truth from his heart.”

This is similar to what Rabbi Akiva told his students,⁴¹⁸Talmud Bavli, Chagigah 14b “When you reach the pure marble stones (Avnei Shayish Tahor-אבני שיש טהור), do not say ‘water, water-Mayim Mayim-מים מים,’ because it states,⁴¹⁹Psalms 101:7 ‘He who speaks falsehood shall not be established before My eyes.’” In Pirkei Heichalot⁴²⁰Pirkei Heichalot 26:2 they explained this matter further, that Above there is a known chamber (Heichal), and when those who are unworthy of ascending the Chariot (Merkavah) do so and arrive there, they perceive wondrous matters in that chamber (Heichal). In their mind they perceive them as water, and ask themselves, “What are these waters good for?”⁴²¹Also see Shaar HaYichud of the Mittler Rebbe, Rabbi Dovber of Lubavitch, known as The Key to Chassidus, translated as The Gate of Unity, [towards the end of] Ch. 3. Immediately, a voice comes from Above and decrees that this person is amongst those who kiss the golden calf, and he immediately is punished. This being so, contemplate how they revealed to us, that this place we are discussing, is not actual water. If you understand this, you will apply it to the other matters as well, that is, “fire-Aish-אש,” and “wind-Ru’ach-רוח,” as the verse states,⁴²²Psalms 104:4 “He makes the winds-Ruchot-רוחות His messengers, the flaming fire-Aish-אש His attendants.” Let it not arise in your mind that this only refers to fire and water as they are below. Rather, their names refer to the secret of their qualities and attributes.
