חסידות אויף תהילים 3:7

לֹֽא־אִ֭ירָא מֵרִבְב֥וֹת עָ֑ם אֲשֶׁ֥ר סָ֝בִ֗יב שָׁ֣תוּ עָלָֽי׃

איך האָב ניט מורא פֿאַר צענטױזנטן פֿאָלק, װאָס האָבן רונד אַרום זיך אָנגעזעצט אױף מיר.

Likutei Halakhot

This is the aspect of awakening from sleep, for when a man sees he is far from Hashem Yisbarach, etc., this is the aspect of sleep, which is 1/60 of death. And when he searches and requests and finds within himself some good point, then he enlivens and gladdens himself and rouses himself to the service of Hashem Yisbarach because of this. This is the aspect of rousing from sleep, and this is the aspect (Psalms 3:2) "Hashem, my foes are so many", etc. These are the enemies of the soul which are the sins and flaws of everyone. [That] this is the essence of "the problems of man". And when they overcome a man, G-d forbid, then they want to defeat him completely, G-d forbid. [It is] like he has no more hope, G-d forbid. And this is (Psalms 3:3) "many say of me, “There is no deliverance for him through God, Selah"". And then he is in the aspect of sleep, as is stated above. And this is (Psalms 3:6) "I lie down and sleep" as this is the aspect of sleep, as is stated above. However, truthfully, a man is forbidden from despairing, and he must strengthen and rouse himself from sleep by the little [point] of good he yet finds in himself. And this is (Id.) "and wake again, for the LORD sustains me". That I strengthen myself and rouse myself from slumber, because I will not despair at all because "the LORD sustains me". Because [regarding] the point of goodness man finds within himself, this is the aspect of "G-dliness", so to speak, for all the good is from Him, may He be blessed, because the Torah and Israel and Hashem are all one. We find, when Israel possesses some good point, in other words some Mitzvah or good thing, this goodness is complete unity with Him, may He be blessed, because (Psalms 145:9) "Hashem is good to all". And as it is written (Psalms 34:9) "Taste and see how good the LORD is". Because all of the good that is found in every place he is, is all from Him, may He be blessed. And this is "the LORD sustains me", the point of goodness that I found inside of me, which is the aspect of "G-dliness", the aspect of "Hashem is good to all". This is what supports me and wakes me up from my slumber. And then (Psalms 3:7) "I have no fear of the myriad forces arrayed against me on every side", for I do not fear them, even though there are many flaws and sins that are upon me to destroy me, G-d forbid. For from the moment I find [another] point of goodness inside me, because of this I awake from my slumber, and because of this I, in truth enter, to the side of merit; and because of this I merit repentance, etc as explained above. Because all the evil is rejected from before the bit of goodness he finds in himself, and [he] enlivens and elevates himself by this. Because a little bit of light dispels much darkness, as is known. And this is the aspect of (Psalms 139:18) "I end—but am still with You". Because of the other bit [of goodness] of mine, etc., in other words the good point as explained above. The aspect of (Psalms 104:33) "all my life I will chant hymns to my G-d", and this is "He is still with me". In other words, [because of] that other little bit [of goodness in me] He is still with me, as explained above. Because of this "I end", because this is the aspect of waking up from slumber, as explained above.
