Zohar on Tehillim 89 – Women's Mouths
Tehillim 89:2
- "Chasdei Hashem olam ashira; le-dor va-dor odia emunatecha befi" - (I will sing of the kindnesses of Hashem forever; from generation to generation I will make Your faithfulness known with my mouth).
The primary spiritual work of women is to refine the mouth and refine one's speech. Women find it more difficult than men to guard their speech. The root of this goes back to the very beginning of Creation.
Man was created from earth (adamah), and was therefore called Adam, which alludes to silence (demamah).
Woman, not having been created from earth, lacks this foundation of silence. She was called Chava, which alludes to speech: "And night to night conveys (yachaveh) knowledge." (Tehillim 19:3)
Moreover, woman is associated with the sefirah of Malchut, but Faith is also called Malchut. The mouth is likewise associated with this sefirah. "Kingship is the mouth."
(Tikkunei Zohar 17a)
