243) “A song of ascents: From the depths I have called You, O Lord.” When the Creator created the world, He wanted to create man. He consulted with the Torah. She said to Him: “You want to create that man; he is destined to sin before You; he is destined to anger you. If You behave with him according to his actions, the world will not be able to withstand You, much less that man.” The Creator told her, “Is it for no reason that I am called ‘a merciful, gracious, and patient God’?”
244) Before the Creator created the world, He created repentance. The Creator said to repentance, Bina: “I wish to create man in the world provided that if they return to you from their iniquities you will be willing to pardon their iniquities and atone them.” Each and every hour, repentance is ready for people. When people repent from their iniquities, this repentance, Bina, returns to the Creator giving Mochin to ZA and atones for everything. Then the Dinim surrender and all are perfumed, and the man is purified from his iniquities.
245) When is one purified from his iniquity? When he properly enters repentance. When he repents before the upper king and prays a prayer from the bottom of the heart, as it is written, “From the depths I have called You, O Lord.”
246) “From the depths I have called You, O Lord.” There is a hidden place above, and it is the depth of the well, Bina. From here come forth streams and fountains to all sides. And the deepest of the deep is called “repentance.” One who wishes to repent and be purified from his iniquities must call on the Creator in this depth, as it is written, “From the depths I have called You, O Lord.”
247) When a man was sinning before his Master and made an offering on the altar, and the priest atoned for him and prayed his prayer for him, Rachamim [mercy] awaken, the Dinim are perfumed, and repentance, Bina, imparts blessings in the fountains that extend and come forth. Then all the candles are blessed together, the Sefirot de Malchut, and a man is purified from his iniquities.
