The Lamed Trilogy: Supreme Court of Creation : Studying Tehillim: Chapter 119 (verses of Lamed, part 3)
In the first two parts of Lamed’s verses we developed the theme of “constant-creation” of heaven, earth and its fullness. We now speak of how all of creation stands before G-d in constant judgment. For as long as the cosmos executes the Creator's will in carrying out His judgment, the universe endures—as all of creation is but Hashem's servants. Mindfulness and awareness of individualized Divine Design in all, equals perfect faith and trust. Comprising many layers, this verse also alludes to Rosh Hashanah—providing strategy to emerge meritorious in G-d's judgment. (Psalm 119, verse 91)
