118) It is written, “Sing to the Lord a new song, His praise from the edges of the earth.” Oh how Israel are loved by the Creator. Their joy and their praises are only about Him, for any joy of Israel in which they do not include the Creator is not joy. And SAM and all his company are destined to slander that joy and remain in sorrow and weeping, and the Creator does not partake in that sorrow.
119) But one who includes the Creator and His Shechina in one’s joy, should a slanderer come to that joy, the Creator and His Shechina will partake in that sorrow. It is written about it, “In all their affliction He was afflicted.” In what? It is because it is written, “I will be with him in trouble.”
120) How do we know that Israel should include the Creator and His Shechina in their joy? Because it is written, “Let Israel rejoice in those who make him.” This means that the joy of Israel is only in those who make him. But should it not have been written, “In He who makes him”? However, they are the Creator and His Shechina, and his father and mother. For although they died, the Creator uproots them from the Garden of Eden and brings them with Him to that joy to partake in the joy with the Creator and His Shechina.
