Tehillim 19 and When a Chatan Brings Nachat

- "Vehu ke-chatan yotzei me-chuppato" - (emerging like a chatan from beneath the chuppah). The letters of the word "Chatan" - חתן (groom) - also form the word "Nachat" נחת (happiness, consolation) , and both words have a gematria of 458; The gematria of the phrase "yedid nefesh" (beloved soul) is also 458. This confirms the Jewish idea that a man becomes a complete person only when he finds his other half (beloved soul), and only when he stands beneath the chuppah and becomes a chatan can his parents derive Nachat from him. The word "Nachat" (the most common blessing Jews offer in connection with their children) also appears in "Kohelet" 4:6 - "טוֹב מְלֹא כַף נָחַת מִמְּלֹא חָפְנַיִם עָמָל וּרְעוּת רוּחַ" - "Better is one handful attained with peace and joy than two full handfuls attained through toil and anguish of spirit." (A Sila Tehillim original insight)
