How To: Psalms for Hard Times, Which One?
Tehillim, written by King David, carry a unique spiritual power in every word. They are not just prayers but a direct connection to God in times of need, gratitude, and reflection. Their words uplift, strengthen, and awaken a person’s faith and connection with God.
Psalms can be said anytime - Although Day Time is preferred.

TRANSLATION
A song for ascents. I shall raise my eyes to the mountains, from where will my help come? My help is from the L-rd, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to falter; Your Guardian will not slumber. Behold the Guardian of Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is your Guardian; the L-rd is your shadow; [He is] by your right hand. By day, the sun will not smite you, nor will the moon at night. The L-rd will guard you from all evil; He will guard your soul. The L-rd will guard your going out and your coming in from now and to eternity.
