Chassidut on Tehillim, or Who Receives the Greater Blessing

Chassidut on Tehillim, or Who Receives the Greater Blessing

Tehillim 109:28  - “Yekalelu hemah ve-Atah tevarech” - (They will curse, but You will bless). David HaMelech wrote this psalm about friends who betrayed him and became his enemies and slanderers. Rabbi Simcha Bunim of Peshischa taught: “A vessel placed in a fire becomes stronger than the others. Similarly, the Almighty blesses those who have enemies more than others. Where do we learn this from? King David (alav hashalom) says: “Although, because of my many sins, I am unworthy of Your blessing, send me a blessing so that I may withstand those who curse me.”  (Tehillim, edited by Ezra Khovkin)
