Tehillim means “Praises” and contains many praises and pleas to HaShem.
Most of the Tehillim was written by Dovid HaMelech, and around half of the chapters are “Mizmor L’Dovid.” The sefer contains 150 perakim.
The Midrash tells us that when Dovid HaMelech composed the Tehillim, he had not only himself in mind, but every Jew and every circumstance. No matter the situation, the words of Tehillim speak words from the heart — from neshama to neshama.
An amazing story by Reb Kalman Krohn z”l.
Reading this story had a profound effect on me, and I began to recite tehillim on a consistent basis. Although I am no longer a youngster and cannot qualify as a member of the tinokos shel beis rabban, my tehillim, too, is beloved by Hashem.
We all experience miracles, even open miracles. How many times have we been in near-accidents while driving? How many times have we skirted death, knowingly or unknowingly? It is the tehillim we recite, the tefillos we say, that unleash Hashem’s protection, safeguarding our very lives.
Have a wonderful Shabbos!
