We are now in Pesukim of Kivoy Tehilim 62,8 אַ֣ךְ אֶל־אֱ֭לֹהִים דּֽוּמִיָּ֣ה נַפְשִׁ֑י מִ֝מֶּ֗נּוּ יְשׁוּעָתִֽי׃ /My soul is yearning, from Him is my salvation. How does the word Dumiya mean yearn ? Rashi cites a pasuk in Tehilim 37 that says. Dom L’Hashem , which Rashi explains as Yearn to Hashem and hope to him. So Dom is a term in the context of that, of hope . Dom also means to be silent like VaYidom Aharon/And Aharon was silent . So אֶל־אֱ֭לֹהִים דּֽוּמִיָּ֣ה נַפְשִׁ֑י can also be read as, To Hashem My heart is silent. These are two important concepts of Bitachon and we can probably connect the two. My heart is silent, means I have nothing to say and I'm hoping for Hashem’s salvation. They're both true Dom is like Domem , something that doesn't move and Dumiya is to look forward. The sefer Chida connects the two. He says that when someone accepts yisurim b’ahava/accepts suffering in silence like Aharon, the term Elohim , refers to strict justice. But if I'm quiet and I accept it, and my soul is silent, l that will cause me to hope to Hashem’s Yeshua , because I know that everything Hashem does is for the good, and by accepting the difficult situations with love, it will turn everything around and I can hope for the Yeshua . What's interesting is that the term Dumiya is always connected to the Nefesh . As it says, I hope to Hashem, my soul hopes to you, and it says in Tehilim 131,2, אִם־לֹ֤א שִׁוִּ֨יתִי ׀ וְדוֹמַ֗מְתִּי נַ֫פְשִׁ֥י כְּ֭גָמֻל עֲלֵ֣י אִמּ֑וֹ כַּגָּמֻ֖ל עָלַ֣י נַפְשִֽׁי׃ Everything is equal, my soul is silent like a child weaned from his mother. My soul is like that child weaned from his mother . Again, we see the word Nafshi , my soul, alongside V’domamti . Why is the silence and the hope connected to the soul ? We've said in the past in a different forum, that a person is made up of a brain, a heart, and a liver, which are the intellect , emotions , and impulses or the gut reactions . Your brain is where your cognition is. Your heart is where your emotions are, and your liver is where your impulses are; these are deeper than emotions- we can call it the subconscious. These correspond to three souls. Nefesh is in the liver , Ruach is in the heart, and Neshama is in the brain . The basest level of the soul is called the Nefesh . Rabbenu Yonah says in Mishleh (chapter 3) that when David Hamelech says Kiviti Hashem KiAta Nafshi, he means that my hope to Hashem is something that's deep down in my subconscious. It's deep down in my impulsive state, almost my animalistic state. I once said, there is flight or fight which is how the animalistic impulsive side of us reacts. But there can also be a third level called rely on Hashem , when Kivoy becomes an impulse as well. Similarly, with the word Domem . There's a concept of having butterflies in your stomach. Why not say you have butterflies in your head or butterflies in your heart ? You have butterflies in your stomach, in your kishkas , when you're nervous, when your Nefesh is not silent. Your Nefesh is not still because you are worried and anxious. David Hamelech says, There are no butterflies in my stomach . I’m like a baby that was just weaned from its mother. As the Bet Halevi explains in his essay on Bitachon, the baby that was just weaned from its mother has no opinion. He doesn't know what he wants or doesn't want, he’s been having milk for the past year, he doesn't know anything about mashed peas. He's totally silent. He has no butterflies; he has no concern. He doesn't even know what he wants or what he needs. And he hopes to his mother to give him what he needs. And that's the essence of our pasuk, אַ֣ךְ אֶל־אֱ֭לֹהִים דּֽוּמִיָּ֣ה נַפְשִׁ֑י To Hashem, my soul yearns, my soul hopes. Or, to Hashem, my soul is silent and that brings about, מִ֝מֶּ֗נּוּ יְשׁוּעָתִֽי׃ /from Him, will be my salvation.
