Komentaryong Sumisipi para sa Mga Awit 21:4

You place Heb. תשוה Menachem (p. 171) interpreted: תשוה, תשים, and תשית have the same meaning.

And may God give to you: The letter vav [prefix “and”] in vayiten [and he will give] is superfluous, and our Sages interpreted (Bereishit Rabbah 66:3) that it means “He will give and give again.” The explanation of this matter is as follows: It is known that in all the commandments that a person performs, there isn’t sufficient repayment for the benefits that the Holy One, blessed be He, has already done for him from the day of his birth, according to their deeds, accordingly He will repay (Isaiah 59:18). Everything that a person does in terms of commandments, he does as a form of repayment, and in all the goodness that we receive from Him, blessed be He, His kindness overwhelms us. The Holy One, blessed be He, precedes with His goodness in every giving, as it is written My God in His kindness will precede me (Psalms 59:11) and it is written For You precede him with blessings of goodness (Psalms 21:4) and it is written Who has preceded Me that I should repay him? (Job 41:3). According to this principle, if a person has an evil thought saying, “The past is gone, and what profit is there in serving God if I will always be indebted to Him?” You should respond and say to him: Go and see how people conduct business. It is the practice of merchants who give credit that when the buyer pays his old debt, the merchant then gives him credit again, and so it continues forever. However, if one doesn’t pay the old debt, the merchant won’t give him more merchandise. Similarly, the Great Creditor, blessed be He and blessed be His name, when a person pays back through his commandments the first credit, the Holy One, blessed be He, gives him credit again, and this is the meaning of “He will give and give again.”
