קבלה אויף תהילים 111:9

R. Jose here quoted the verse: “He sent redemption unto his people; he hath commanded his covenant for ever; holy and awful is his name” (Ps. 111, 9). He pointed out that this and the following verse (“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do his commandments; his praise endureth for ever”) each consists of three parts, the first letters of which are in alphabetical order, whilst the rest of the Psalm has but two such parts in each verse. And his explanation was that the last two verses between them complete the alphabet on six sides. The first corresponds to the three redemptions of Israel, apart from the Egyptian (i.e. Babylonian, Syrian, and the future one); the second to the three divisions of Scripture: Torah, Prophets and Sacred Writings.
