Zohar on Tehillim 118 - King David and the Planet Mars
Tehillim 118:10
- “Kol goyim sevavuni, b'Shem Ado-nai ki amilam” - (All nations surrounded me, but in the Name of G-d I will cut them down).
The tractate “Shabbat” states regarding King David that he was “admoni” (red)—that is, he was born under the sign of Mars. David was destined to subdue all the nations in all the wars for the Land of Israel and therefore had to be born under the sign of Mars. It was through David that the initial stage of the world's rectification took place.
(Commentary of the Vilna Gaon on “Sifra de-Tzniuta”)
