What is the significance of "va'Tehi la'Dal Tikvah"?
Devar Eliyahu: When the salvation comes, the poor will be serene. This corresponds to "umi'Yad Chazak Evyon" (15).
Malbim: If the Resha'im's Hishtadlus helped, there would be no hope to be saved from the many Resha'im and tyrants. Their entire intent is to kill the weak and plunder their property.
What is "Olasah"?
Rashi: It is a pretext and evil, like "Yechapsu Olos" - Alilos (pretexts).
What is the meaning of "Kaftzah"?
Rashi: It will close, like "Lo Sikpotz." Devar Eliyahu - evildoers will close their mouths, as if they are not in the world. They will fear to open their mouths and send their hands for evil. This corresponds to "va'Yosha me'Cherev mi'Pihem" (15). This is like "bi'Fro'ach Resha'im Kemo Esev va'Yatzitzu Kol Po'alei Aven" - they open their mouths to swallow. "Oyvecha Yovedu", and then "Yispardu Kol Po'alei Aven."
Malbim: Evil will close its mouth, for they will see that there is a supreme Overseer who saves the poor.
