כִּ֤י יְהוָה֙ שֹׁפְטֵ֔נוּ יְהוָ֖ה מְחֹקְקֵ֑נוּ יְהוָ֥ה מַלְכֵּ֖נוּ ה֥וּא יוֹשִׁיעֵֽנוּ׃
װאָרום גאָט איז אונדזער ריכטער, גאָט איז אונדזער געזעצגעבער, גאָט איז אונדזער מלך; ער װעט אונדז העלפֿן.
Sha'arei Orah
When HaShem-יהו״ה, blessed is He, judges the world, it sometimes is called “The justice of HaShem-Mishpat HaShem-משפט יהו״ה,” and is sometimes called, “The justice of God-Mishpat Elohi”m-משפט אלהי״ם,” all of which accords to the verdict that comes out. How so? The verse states,140Isaiah 33:22 “For HaShem-יהו״ה is our Judge-Shofteinu-שופטינו,” and it states,141Jeremiah 10:24 “Chastise me, HaShem-יהו״ה, but with justice-Mishpat-משפט,” and,142Isaiah 3:14 “HaShem-יהו״ה will come in justice-Mishpat-משפט.” We thus see that justice-Mishpat-משפט is related to HaShem-יהו״ה, blessed is He. However, at other times, justice-Mishpat-משפט is called by His title God-Elohi”m-אלהי״ם, as in the verse,143Psalms 76:10 “When God-Elohi”m-אלהי״ם arose to pass justice-Mishpat-משפט,” and,144Psalms 75:8 “For God-Elohi”m-אלהי״ם is the Judge-Shofet-שופט – He lowers this one and raises that one,” and it states,145Ecclesiastes 12:14 “For all deeds come before God-Elohi”im-אלהי״ם in justice-Mishpat-משפט.” The secret is that according to the final verdict rendered, so is justice-Mishpat-משפט called at its conclusion. That is, if the final verdict comes out for mercy-Rachamim, it is called HaShem-יהו״ה, and if the final verdict comes out for judgment-Din, it is called God-Elohi”m-אלהי״ם.
