209. “For I proclaim the name of the Lord.” The end of the verse ties the knot of faith in that it is written, “He,” as it is written, “He is just and upright.” That is, He is everything. He is one, without separation, for if you say all those names in the verse, they are many. He reiterated and said “He,” that they all rise and connect and unite in one, and He is everything. He was, and He is, and He will be, and He is one. Therefore, the matters connect, and the holy matters of the name of the Creator unite.

210. Happy is he who calls on the King and knows how to call Him properly. If he calls but does not know to whom he called, the Creator moves away from him, as it is written, “The Lord is near to all who call Him.” To whom is He close? “To all who call Him in truth.” What is “in truth”? With the seal of the King’s ring, the middle line, the seal of the Mochin with the Malchut, who is called the “King’s ring,” which is the wholeness of everything.

It is written, “Give truth to Jacob, mercy [Hesed] to Abraham. ZA, the middle line, is Jacob, and truth was given to the middle line. This is why it is written, “to all who call Him in truth.” One who does not know how to call Him with the quality of the middle line, but leans to the left line or to the right line, the Creator moves away from him. Happy is he who enters in wisdom and exits in wholeness, to know the ways of the Creator. This is why it is written, “The path of the righteous is like the light of dawn,” and it is written, “And Your people are all righteous.”
