Another interpretation: “From people by Your hand, O Lord” – how mighty are they who took dominion from under the hand of God. Who is that? That is Nebuchadnezzar. “From people from the world” – those are they who took their portion in the Land. “Their portion is life” – those who took their portion while they were alive.7In other words, they receive their reward in this world, and do not merit the World to Come. “Your hidden treasures will fill their bellies” – they who became rich from what was hidden in the chamber [of the Temple]. “Their sons will be satisfied” – these are Evil [Merodakh] and Belshatzar.8Nebuchadnezzar’s son and grandson. “And they will leave their surplus to their young ones” – one young one remained for him, and you made her an empress in a kingdom that was not hers, and who was that? That is Vashti.
