Tehillim Ailment List

May we all merit a speedy and complete healing.

In one of my Tehillim (Book of Psalms) books, there is an index for what situation each Tehillim can be said.

For example, #27 is for wild animals and #118 facilitates giving an answer to an apikorus (a heretic). There are also quite a few that apply to specific ailments, both mental and physical.

With a lot of people suffering from minor to major ailments, it might be nice to know which perek (chapter) can be said for a specific ailment.

Note: The translation for kedachat isn't clear to me. I've seen it translated as "fever" or "malaria." To complicate things, the index calls different ailments kedachat revi'it (fourth fever/malaria) and so on. So I'm just leaving it as kedachat below.

If you know for sure, I'll hope you'll either send an email or leave the definition in the comments!

Also, there's a perek you say for the left leg/foot, but I didn't find anything for the right leg/foot. So I suppose you could just say 119:145-152 (kuf) for both. It can only help.

Unfortunately, I didn't see any for respiratory issues. (Or maybe that could be included in kedachat? Well, it can't hurt!)

Anyway, here's the list:

---

1 -- for a woman who miscarries (or tends to miscarry a pregnancy)
3 -- for shoulder pain and head pain
6 -- for eye illness
9 -- for a sick child
12 -- to prevent weakness
