Where Is the Word "Etrog" Hidden in Tehillim

Tehillim 36:12 "Al tavoeni regel ga'avah ve-yad resha'im al tanideni" – (May the foot of the arrogant not come upon me, and may the hand of the wicked not shake me). Etrog is a majestic fruit representing the heart—the body's principal organ. However, the greater and more important we and our deeds are, the more humility is required. The etrog symbolizes the nullification of pride. This is evident in Tehillim. אֶתְרוֹג – "etrog" is an acronym for the phrase: אַל תְּבוֹאֵנִי רֶגֶל גַּאֲוָה – «Al tavoeni regel ga'avah» – (May the foot of the arrogant not come upon me). Rabbanit H. B. Siegelbaum
