Zohar for All, Volume 6

Hear, Lord, with Righteousness

43. How beloved is he assembly of Israel by the Creator, for whenever the assembly of Israel, Malchut, comes before the Creator, the Creator is ready for her, as it is written, “Hear, Lord, with righteousness listen to my singing, lend an ear to my prayer.” David said, “I connected to the assembly of Israel; as it is before You, so am I.” This is why in the beginning, it is written, “Hear, Lord, with righteousness,” which is Malchut, and then it is written, “listen to my singing, lend an ear to my prayer.”

44. “Without deceitful lips.” Any word in the prayer, which a person utters from his mouth, rises up and breaches firmaments, and enters the place where it enters, and there that word is tested. If the word is honest, it is admitted before the holy King to do his will. If not, it is taken outside and another spirit awakens by that saying, from the Sitra Achra.
