Daily Zohar # 3522 – Miketz – Raise your head above the evil
Hebrew translation:
111. דָּבָר אַחֵר וְעַתָּה יָרוּם רֹאשִׁי – בַּכֹּל, יֵצֶר טוֹב עַל יֵצֶר רָע, שֶׁכָּתוּב עַל אֹיְבַי סְבִיבוֹתַי, זֶה הַיֵּצֶר הָרָע שֶׁהוּא סְבִיב הָאָדָם, וְהוּא שׂוֹנֵא אוֹתוֹ בַּכֹּל. וְאֶזְבְּחָה בְאָהֳלוֹ זִבְחֵי תְרוּעָה – זוֹ הַתּוֹרָה שֶׁנִּתְּנָה מִצַּד הָאֵשׁ, כַּכָּתוּב (דברים לג) מִימִינוֹ אֵשׁ דָּת לָמוֹ. שֶׁהֲרֵי בִּשְׁבִיל הַתּוֹרָה יָרוּם רֹאשׁוֹ [שֶׁל הָאָדָם] וְנִשְׁבָּרִים כָּל שׂוֹנְאָיו לְפָנָיו, כַּכָּתוּב (תהלים יח) תַּכְרִיעַ קָמַי תַּחְתָּי.
112. דָּבָר אַחֵר וְעַתָּה יָרוּם רֹאשִׁי – לְהִכָּלֵל עִם הָאָבוֹת, שֶׁהֲרֵי דָּוִד הַמֶּלֶךְ יֵשׁ לוֹ לְהִדָּבֵק עִם הָאָבוֹת, וְאָז יִתְרוֹמֵם וְיַעֲלֶה לְמַעְלָה, וְהוּא בְּקֶשֶׁר אֶחָד עִמָּם. עַל אֹיְבַי סְבִיבוֹתַי – אֵלּוּ הֵם שֶׁבְּצַד הַשְּׂמֹאל, כֻּלָּם בַּעֲלֵי הַדִּינִים שֶׁמִּתְכַּוְּנִים לְחַבֵּל, וְאָז הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ מִתְחַבֵּר לַלְּבָנָה, וְהַכֹּל הוּא אֶחָד.

Another explanation to Psalms 27:6
‘My head shall be lifted’ – is the congregation of Israel, which is Malchut when it is elevated to the Light of Binah.
‘above my enemies all around me’ – refers to Esau and his ministers.
‘I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle’ – This is Israel that brings offering to the Holy Tabernacle in Jerusalem.
‘sacrifices of joy’ – are the type of sacrifices that remove judgment from the world as described in Psalms 51:19 “זִבְחֵי אֱלֹהִים רוּחַ נִשְׁבָּרָה לֵב נִשְׁבָּר וְנִדְכֶּה אֱלֹהִים לֹא תִבְזֶה.”
“The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; A broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.”
‘I will sing and praise YHVH’ – to never stop giving thanks and praises to the Holy One Blessed be He.

Another explanation to Psalms 27:6
‘my head shall be lifted’ – to raise the good above the evil inclination.
‘above my enemies all around me’ – Raise above the evil inclination that is the hated enemy around us.
‘I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle’ – This is the Torah that was given from the side of the fire, as it is written in Deuteronomy 33:2 “From His right hand Came a fiery law for them”. We raise our head for the Torah and our enemies break down in front of us as it is said Psalms 18:40
“וַתְּאַזְּרֵנִי חַיִל לַמִּלְחָמָה תַּכְרִיעַ קָמַי תַּחְתָּי.”
“For You have armed me with strength for the battle; You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.”

Another explanation to Psalms 27:6
‘My head shall be lifted’ – King David wanted to be connected with the patriarchs and reach their high level to be one with them.
‘Above my enemies all around me’ – These are the enemies on the Left that bring judgments and are ready to destroy. When the ‘head’ rises above and connects to the ‘sun’ that is Zeir Anpin, he can unite with the Nukva, Malchut, and become one.
