Kabbalah sa Mga Awit 97:11: Zohar, Zohar Chadash & Sha'arei Orah

“in the sight of the sons of men”, inasmuch as it is the functioning of this light that makes possible the existence of mankind, who are sustained by it despite the fact that the light itself is stored away. Again, “which thou hast wrought”, viz. as a medium for the construction of the world according to an orderly plan;

When the Holy One, Blessed be He, looked over the generations of wicked men, he stored the light for the righteous ones. Thus it is written, "And from the wicked their light is withholden," (Job 38:15) and, "light is sown for the righteous and gladness for those upright in hearts" (Ps. 97:11) And so, God said "Let there be light" just as it is written, "Who raised up the righteous man from the east," (Is. 41:1)

After having informed you of this, contemplate the verse,¹¹⁵Deuteronomy 10:15 “Only your forefathers did HaShem-יהו״ה desire to love,” that is,¹¹⁶Midrash Bereishit Rabba 47:6; 69:3; 82:6 and elsewhere. “The forefathers, are themselves the Supernal Chariot (Merkavah).” The term “desire-Chashak-חשק” may be understood according to the verse,¹¹⁷Exodus 27:11 “[The pillars and] their silver bands-Chashukeihem-חשוקיהם.”¹¹⁸That is, the pillars-Amudim-עמודים here refer to the forefathers, Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yaakov, and their bands-Chashukeihem-חשוקיהם refer to Victory-Netzach and Majesty-Hod. See Tikkunei Zohar 12b. The verse then continues,¹¹⁹Deuteronomy 10:15 ibid. “And He chose their offspring-Zar’am-זרעם after them,” referring to David, who literally is their offspring-Zar’am-זרעם, as it states,¹²⁰Psalms 97:11 “Light is sown-Zaru’a-זרוע for the righteous-Tzaddik-צדיק.” That is, it is sown-Zaru’a-זרוע in the most literal sense, and the Foundation-Yesod is primary for the seed-Zera-זרע. The sign for this is the verse,¹²¹Isaiah 11:1-2 “A staff will grow from the stump of Yishai-ישי, and a shoot will sprout from his roots. The spirit of HaShem-יהו״ה will rest upon him – a spirit of wisdom-Chochmah and understanding-Binah, a spirit of Counsel-Eitzah and Might-Gevurah, a spirit of Knowledge-Da’at, and fear of HaShem-יהו״ה.” Many great principles are included here. After having informed you of these primary principles included in the term “Something-Yesh-יש,” we shall now begin explaining the remaining matters included in this Sefirah, with HaShem’s-יהו״ה help, blessed is He.
