כְּשֶׁיֵּשׁ מַחֲלֹקֶת עַל הָאָדָם, יְכוֹלִים לְהַטּוֹת אוֹתוֹ מִדֶּרֶךְ הַשֵּׁם יִתְבָּרַךְ, וּלְהַפִּילוֹ מִמַּדְרֵגָתוֹ, חַס וְשָׁלוֹם. וְזֶה שֶׁהִתְפָּאֵר דָּוִד הַמֶּלֶךְ עָלָיו הַשָּׁלוֹם (תהילים קי״ט:קנ״ז): רַבִּים רוֹדְפַי וְצָרָי, מֵעֵדוֹתֶיךָ לֹא נָטִיתִי – שֶׁאַף שֶׁהָיָה עָלָיו מַחֲלֹקֶת רַבִּים, עִם כָּל זֶה לֹא נָטָה מִדֶּרֶךְ הַשֵּׁם יִתְבָּרַךְ:

**Likutey Moharan Volumes 12-15, trans. by Moshe Mykoff. Breslov Research Inst., 1986-2012:**
When a person encounters opposition, [his opponents] are able to turn him away from God’s path and knock him down from his level, God forbid. King David, of blessed memory, took pride in this: “Many are my persecutors and my enemies; from Your statutes I have not strayed” (Psalms 119:157). Although he encountered much opposition, he still did not stray from God’s path.
