What is the meaning of "Ki Hishpilu va'Tomer Gevah"?

1.

Rashi: If you see someone going lowly, you will promise to raise him, and he will be raised.

2.

Ibn Ezra: When Resha'im descend, you will teach that it is due to pride - "Lifnei Shever Ga'on."

3.

Devar Eliyahu: When people are lowly, you will tell Hashem to raise them.

4.

Malbim: Until now, your ways lowered themselves - they were in lowly, worldly matters. Now you will raise them to an elevated, spiritual Divine matter. You will remove the covering of physicality and its desires, and the Nefesh will elevate and fly.

What do we learn from "v'Shach Einayim Yoshi'a"?

1.

Rashi: One whose eyes are lowered due to affliction that came for his sin, Hashem will save him via you and your Tefilah. Divrei Eliyahu - "va'Tomer" applies also to this. This is a greater success - his merit saves also others!

2.

Ibn Ezra: Hashem will save one whose eyes are low.

3.

Sha'arei Teshuvah 1:29: Humility in deed - his eyes are always low.

4.

Orchos Tzadikim Sha'ar ha'Anavah, DH ha'Shishi: One of the ways of humility is not engaging in beautiful clothing and ornaments.

5.

Malbim: Via lowering your eyes and not lifting them towards illusory worldly matters, Hashem will save him via a spiritual salvation.
