608. The child opened the discussion saying, "To David. Fret not yourself because of evil doers, nor be envious against the workers of iniquity" (Tehilim 37:1). HE ASKS, "To David" shows it is not a song, like in "A psalm of David" nor a prayer, AS IN "A PRAYER OF DAVID." HE ANSWERS, Wherever it says just "To David," it was spoken by the Holy Spirit.
609. "Fret not yourself because of evil doers." HE ASKS, What is the meaning thereof? It should have been 'Join not EVIL DOERS.' HE REPLIES, Do not challenge the wicked, for you do not know your origins, MEANING, THE INCARNATIONS OF YOUR SOUL. IT MIGHT BE that you will not prevail against him, if he is a tree which was never uprooted, A SOUL WHICH WAS NEVER INCARNATED BEFORE, WHICH IS VERY STRONG. Then you will be repulsed by him.
610. "Nor be envious against the workers of iniquity:" Do not look at their deeds, for you might be envious of them. For whoever sees their works and is not zealous for the glory of the Holy One, blessed be He, transgresses three negative precepts, "You shall have no other Elohim beside Me, You shall not make for yourself any carved idol, or any likeness of any thing...you shall not bow down to them, nor serve them: for I Hashem your Elohim am a jealous El" (Shemot 20:5).
