The IMAGE of Dimensions and Concern

PSALM 119:25-32 Dalet.

My SOUL (NEPHESH) CLEAVES to the DUST (APHAR); REVIVE (CHAYAH) me according to Your WORD (DABAR).
I have TOLD of my WAYS, and You have ANSWERED me;TEACH (LAMAD) me Your STATUTES.
Make me UNDERSTAND (BIN) the WAY (DEREK) of Your PRECEPTS, So I will MEDITATE (SIACH) on Your WONDERS.
My SOUL WEEPS because of GRIEF; STRENGTHEN me ACCORDING to Your WORD.
REMOVE the FALSE (SHEQER) WAY from me, And GRACIOUSLY (CHANAN) GRANT me Your LAW (TORAH).
I have CHOSEN the FAITHFUL (EMUNAH) WAY; I have placed Your ORDINANCES (MISHPAT) before me.
I CLING (DABAQ) to Your TESTIMONIES; O LORD (YHVH), do NOT put me to SHAME!(BOSH)
I shall RUN the WAY of Your COMMANDMENTS (MITSVAH), For You will ENLARGE my HEART (LEV).

DALET is the FOURTH letter and as the numerical value of FOUR and it is the picture of a DOOR.

DALET having the number four as its numerical value symbolises the four components of the physical world in many ways. There are four dimensions of the physical world (north, south, east and west), four elements that compose the world (fire, air, water and earth), and four basic chemical elements (hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen).
