What Rasha is discussed?

1.

Radak: He relies on his great strength, and does not look to Kel and does not understand.

2)

Why does he have many pains?

1.

Radak: They are due to his many sins. No one can save him from his pains!

2.

Malbim: Many things pain him - illness, hunger and all afflictions. Refer to 32:10:3:4.

3)

Will anyone who trusts in Hashem be surrounded with Chesed?

1.

Shocher Tov: [Yes;] it is even a Rasha.

2.

Eichah Rabasi (4:23): This teaches that if a Rasha repents 1 , Hashem accepts him.

3.

Radak: It is one who understands that he has nothing else to rely on; good and bad come to him according to his deeds. He needs to repent from his sins.

4.

Malbim: Even if he has illness, hunger or all afflictions, they do not pain him; he considers that he is surrounded with Chesed. They guard the wild animal (body) from veering from the path and harming him.

5.

Lev Eliyahu (Shemos p.63 citing Moreh ha'Nevuchim): If one has great Bitachon with Hashem, he has connection and Devekus in Hashem. Without this, it is not Bitachon. If he clings to Hashem, no harm can come to him.


1

Yefe Anaf (on the Midrash): Many sources explicitly say that Hashem accepts Teshuvah! Rather, the text should say that even if he does not repent, just he trusts in Hashem, Chesed will surround him.
