221) \u201cAnd You, O Lord, be not far off; O You my help, hasten to my assistance.\u201d King David said this while he was correcting and establishing the King\u2019s praise, to connect the sun, ZA, to the moon, Malchut. While he was correcting and establishing the praises of the King toward the bonding, he said, \u201cAnd You, O Lord, be not far off.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
222) \u201cAnd You, O Lord\u201d is the connecting together, without separation, since \u201cYou\u201d is the Malchut, \u201cLord\u201d is ZA. \u201cBe not far off,\u201d since she ascends to be crowned in her husband. It is all in the upper world, and from there she must be raised to Ein Sof, so that everything will connect up above. This is why he says, \u201cBe not far off,\u201d parting from us, leaving us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
223) This is why in the order of the praise, Israel should be included there and cling with ZA and Malchut from below, so that if this glory, Malchut, wishes to part from them, then Israel below will be gripped to her, holding her and not leaving her to part from them. This is why the prayer is in a whisper, as one who shares a secret with the King, since while she is with Him in the secret, she does not depart from him at all because then she is completely included in ZA. And although ZA, too, rises to Ein Sof, He does not depart from him because He immediately returns to His place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
224) Just as when a buck or a dear departs from its place, it promptly returns to that place, although the Creator departed upward to Ein Sof, He promptly returns to His place because Israel below cling to Him and do not leave Him to be forgotten and far off from them. This is why it is written, \u201cO You my help, hasten to my assistance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
225) This is the reason why we must unite with the Creator and grip Him, as one who pulls from above to below, so that no one will be left from Him for even an hour. Hence, when attaching redemption to prayer\u2014the blessing \u201cThe Redeemer of Israel\u201d to the Eighteen Prayer\u2014one should grip to Him and speak with Him in a whisper, so He does not draw far from us and leaves us. This is why it is written, \u201cAnd you who cleave to the Lord your God are alive everyone of you this day.\u201d \u201cHappy is the people that is so situated; happy is the people whose God is the Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
