"When thou hast shut the door and darkened thy room, say not to
thyself that thou art alive, God is in the room."
- Epictetus
"The act of praying is the very highest energy of what the human
mind is capable."
0 Lord, keep me sensitive to the grace that is around me. May the
familiar not be neglected. May I see thy goodness in my daily bread,
and may the comfort of my home take my thoughts to the mercy
seat of God.
-St. Augustine

INTRODUCTION
It cannot be de n ied that true, wi se and enl ighte ned Kabal ists lived
at one ti me, and that some sti ll live . But such do not wander from place to
place, offering their art for sa le, in order that they may accumulate we al
th, but they a re satisfied to re main qu ietly in the pillared palace of
Solomon, whe re they a re constantly employed in gathering divi ne
wisdom, so that (as they express it), they may final ly be come worthy to re
ce ive the hidden gifts from above . I myself know such a man, who obtai
ned ex alted wisdom from the Kabala, and who, notwithstanding his
extreme pove rty, neve r unde rtakes a kabal i st ic process for money. When
I once asked him why he refu sed to write a de si red amulet for a noble lord,
he offered him a la rge sum for his se rvices, he answered me with an adage
from the we l l-known Pirke Awoth (Extract or Fragment from the Fathe r):
"Dei tschtammasch Be taggo Chalof," that is to say, "whosoe ve r accepts the
crown for his reward, will pe rish suddenly. Not for all the money in the world
wou ld I do such a thing. But if I can assist my needy ne ighbor therewith, then I
will do what I can, trusting in the_omnipote n ce of the Most Holy, without
looking for a reward. For my necessary support I do not fee l any concern, for the
Almighty has methods to support me if I trust in Him. Why, he even cares for the
sparrow."
I confi dently hope and trust, and I can assert without he sitation, that
my little book cannot have a te n den cy to foster su perstition. Take it for
granted that one of my re ade rs shou ld choose to employ one of the
methods de scribed in the se pages in order to ad:ompl ish a de si red
object, his eage r ness to satisfy curiosity wil l soon disappear when he takes
into consideration the hard te rms and strict morali ty which a re requi red
to avail him self to them in orde r to de rive any be nefit or be suc cessful
in the ir u se.
4
it, for instance, single words, na mes, se nten ces, and indeed enti re ex
periments,
4
printed in the He brew and Chal dean languages. Th is fact sh ou ld not pre vent
any one from purchasing the book. Be cause all the word s pri nted in Hebre w
and Chalda ie, wh ich are inte nded to be im pre ssed upon the mind, are also
printed in Engli sh in plain terms, and they have bee n carefully transl ated. So
far as the He brew passages are concerned, the me aning of each passage and ex
periment foll ows immediately in Engl ish, or it is placed be neath the He brew ex
pression. I have made th is arran ge ment in compliance wi th a re quest from a
num ber of prom i nent persons, to ma ke s ure th at the transl ation is ge nui ne
and correct. The chapter and verse s of Holy Scripture, where all
passages quote d may bf!Jou nd, are also correctly re corde d.
F O R E WORD

divided into fi ve books, just li ke the Thora. We can, therefore, impl icitly
trust in the doctrines of the enl ighte ned Kabalists, when they assert that
the A l mighty accorded equal talents and powers to the Psalms as he did to
the Thora, and that in them many names of the Most H igh Majesty of God
and his angel s, be si des, many mysteries, a re hidde n.
Yet, de ar re ader, you must not doubt. Through a pious life and by a
rational use of the Psalms you may obtain the grace of G od, the favor of princes
and magistrates and the love of your fel low-me n. You will be enabled to
promote your own welfare.
That this is aft true, the contents of the prayer, with which we end each
Psalm, and which we a re in duty bound to pray, will amply de monstrate.
But the correctness of it is also establis hed by the te achings of the Talmud
and of the old wise me n, who assure us, that many of our famous
forefathers avai led them selves of apparently su pernatural me ans from ti
me to ti me, to protect the ir be st in te rests . T he truth of this I can
establish by the most trustworthy witne sses; ye a, I cou ld e ven me ntion
some great me n, who by a proper u se of the Psalms, pe rformed great works.
Such examples a re rare. let it suffice. I pre sent you with a few passages out
of standard books, through which you w ill be come fully convin ced that
the Almighty has given his revea led word true and u nexam pled tale nts
and powe r, and that, in an extre me case of necessi ty, we a re pe rmitte d to
ma ke u se of this gift of God, for our own and our ne ighbor's welfa re. As
for example, to cast out evil spirits; to rel ieve deep me lancholy and to cu re
grievous di sease; to set f ree prisoners who have bee n imprisoned; to arre st
and re sist e nem ies, opponents, mu rde re rs and highway robbe rs: to q uen
ch the fiercest fi res; to re sist floods of water, to defend innoce n ce and to
re veal it; and to foster good fortu ne, we ll-bei ng and pe ace in a gene ral
m an ne r.
U nder such happy circumstan ces, it is su rely right and proper, that
such wholesome knowledge, which up to this day was known but to a few
me n, and then only the learned, was yet f ree to all , but found only in the
libraries and cabinets of the great, although not ge ne rally known, shou ld
at least, in some degree, be brought to light.
Since, howeve r, I cannot gain my obje ct in any other way than giving the
se pages to the world in a printed form, and sin ce they will unavoidably
6
fall into unc lean hands, I fee l mysel f constrai ned, in order to preve nt an
unworthy use of them, to extend this preface, which might othe rwi se, ve ry
properly have en ded he re, in laying down a few rules and limits. Do not,
howeve r, be discouraged for I am re ally endeavoring to promote your be st in te
rests and sh iel d you from harm.
2. If this be so, in ex peri menti ng, pla ce your trust in the goodness
and powe r of the Most High and e ver b les sed God, u pon whom you may
pe rhaps have hitherto called unde r an unknown holy name.
3. T he ordai ned Psalm, for this or the othe r un de rtaki ng, besi des
the appropriate prayer, you must pray with a broke n, contrite heart to God,
and in addition to this kee p in mind the added holy na me with its lette rs,
which a re given the wi se Kabalists. At the sa me ti me you must have your
unde rt ak ing continually before your eyes.
4. I must say to you, if you wish to console you rse lf with this he l p,
that you must live in such a man ner that no crime or wi ll fu l sin can
trouble your conscien ce, for it is we ll known, that the prayer of the ungodly
is not acce pt able to God. And herewith I commit you to the protection of the
Most Hig h .
SECRETS OF THE PSALMS
Those who be l ieve in the efficacy of prayer and a re cital of the Psalms
while burning in cen se , using Sanctuary Oi l or Holy Oil, may if they wish re ad
and apply the followi ng.
Before I proceed further with the translation of the Psalms, it is neces sary
to in sert in this pl ace an admonition, which the author, who wrote only for his
own nation, dee med un ne cessary, and which, neverthe less, should be addres
sed to e ve ry one .
"Each h uih an be ing," says the cele brated Kabalist, Rabbi Isaac
Loriga, "ex ce pt only the ignorant idolater, can by a pious and virtuous li fe
en ter into the consecrated te m ple of the true Kabala, and can avail him
self of its be ne fits without be ing able to s peak or understand the Hebrew
Language. He can pray, re ad and write everything in his mother tongue;
only the holy na me of God and the ange ls that may occur in the ex
periment, must, under all circum stances, be written and re tained in the
mind in the Hebrew tongue (for they must in no case be uttered), be cause,
on the contrary, a wrong di rection might othe rwi se easily be given to the ex
pe ri men t, and conseq ue ntly it wou ld lose all its holines s, work and
efficie ncy."
9
The praye r is as fol lows:
The words, the le tte rs of which constitute this holy name, a re take n from
Rageschu, ve rse 1; Nosseu, ve rse 2; and J oses, ve rse 9.
PSALM 4.- I f you have bee n unlucky hithe rto, in spite of every effort, then
10
you shou ld pray this Psalm three times be fore the rising of the Sun, with
10
hum il i ty and devotion, while at the same time you shou ld i mpress upon your
mind its ru ling holy name, and each time the app rop riate p rayer, trusting in th
e help of the mighty lord, without whose will not the least cr eature can
perish. Proceed in person to extricate your contemp lated undertak ing, and all
things will resu lt to your entire sat isfaction.
The holy na me is cal led: J iheje, (He is and wil l be), and is composed
of the four letters of the words. Tepp il lanti, verse 2; Selahfi, verse 5;
Jehovah, ver se 5; and Toschiwen i, verse 9; the p ray er is as foll ows: May
it please Thee, oh J iheje, to p rosper my ways, steps, and doings. G rant
that my desire may be amp ly ful fi l led, and let my wishes be satisfied even
th is day, for the sake of Thy great, mighty and p raiseworthy name. Amen!
- Selah!
Again, if you have a cause to bring before high magistrates or princes, you
must pray this Psalm and the closing prayer arr anged for it, seven times in
succession before the rising of the sun.
BY THE TRANSLATOR
PSALM 5. - I f you have business to transact with your magistrates or with your
pr inces, and desire to obtain their sp ecial favor, then pray this Psalm early at
the rising of the sun and in the evening at sunset. Do this three times over pu re
ol ive oil, while at the same time you think unceasingly, upon the holy name of
Chananjah (merciful God), anoint your face, hands and feet with the oil and say:
Be merciful unto me, for the sake of Thy great, adorable and holy name.
Chananjah, turn the heart of my prince to me, and gr ant that he may regard me
with grace. Amen! - Selah !-
The holy name is fou nd i n the words; Ch ap ez, verse 5; Nec hi n i , verse
9; Nechona, ver se 10; H adi chemo, verse 1 2; and K az i nna, verse 1 4.
Still another pecu liarity of this Psalm is, when you find notwithstanding the
utmost industry and case, your business does not prosper, and you have reason
to fear that an evi l star, sp irit or destiny is opp osing you, then pr ay this Psalm
daily, even to the last verse with great devoutness, and you will soon
·
PSALM 6. - With this Psalm all diseases of the eye may be healed. Read
the Psalm for three days successively, and pray the prescribed prayer
seven t imes slowly in a low tone, and with devotion, and with this keep
continually in your mind the holy name of Jaschajah (which means help is
with the Lord);
bel i eve w it hout a doubt th at t he Lord can and w i l l h elp you . The prayer is as
follows: Jehovah, my Father, may it please Thee, for the sake of the great,
mighty, holy and adorable name, J eschajah Baal H ats chna, th at is, Help
is with t he Lord (for he is t he Lord of help, he can help), which name is
con tained in this Psalm, heal me from my diseases, infirm ities, and from
pa in of my eyes, for thine is t he power and the help, and thou alone a rt
mighty enough to help; of this I am certain, and t herefore I t ru st in thee.
Amen! S e lah !-
The five letters of thi s holy name contain, according to the prayer the
words; Jehovah al, verse 2; Schuba, verse 6; Oschescha, verse 8; Bewoshn
and Vej ibbahaln, verse 1 1 .
PSALM 7. - When evi l persons conspire to render you unfortun ate, if your
enemies watch for an opportun ity to overthrow you, if they pursue you in
order to harm you, t hen upon t he spot pray thi s Psa lm and keep in your
mind the holy name of Eel El ijon, great, strong, highest God! then throw
the dust in the direct ion of your enemies, uttering a prayer prescribed for
this case, and you wi ll find that your enem ies wil l cease their persecut
ions and leave you undi stu rbed. The l etters of the holy name are fou nd
in the words: Aisher, verse 1 , Ode, verse 1 8, (according to the order of AI,
bam, and t he letters verse 7; J adin, verse 9; Jashuf, \terse 1 3; E l ijon,
verse 18).
The prayer is as follows: Oh, Eel Slijon! great, st rong, and highest
God! may it please thee to change the hearts of my enem ies and
opposers, that they may do me good in stead of evil, as thou did st in the
days of Abraham when he cal led upon Thee by thi s holy name. (Gen. xiv.
22.) Amen! - Selah! -
If you have incurred the ill-w ill of an enemy, whose cunn ing power
and vengeance you have reason to fear, you should fil l a pot with fresh
water, and pronounce over it t he twelve last verses of this Psalm, namely
12
the words: "Arise, Jehovah! in thy wrath!" Pronounce these four times, and
at the same time thin k of the holy name of Eel E lijon, and of your enemy,
and pray each time. "H umble and overth row, O h! Eel Elijon, mine enemy,
N., son of R., th at
13
he may not have the power to provoke or to injure me." Amen! After this prayer,
pour the water upon a spot at your enemy's residen ce, or at a place where he
mu st pass over it, and by doing this you will overcome him.
If you have a case to decide before the court, and you have reasons to fear
an unfavorable or partial verdi ct, then pray this Psalm sl owly before you appear
in the presence of t he J udge, think ing at the same time of Eel Elijon and of t he
righteousness of your cause, and as you approach the judge pray as fol lows: Oh,
Eel Elijon! turn thou t he heart of the judge to favor my best i nterests and grant
that I may be fully ju stified when I depart. G ive unto my words power and
strength and let me find favor. Amen! - Selah! -
PSALM 8. - I f you wish to secure the love and good wil l of all men in you r
business transactions, you shou ld pray this Psalm three days in
succession after sundown, and thin k continually of the Holy name of
Rechmial, which signifies great and strong G od of love, of grace and
mercy. Pronounce at each time the appropriate prayer over a sma ll quant
ity of ol ive oil, and anoint the face as well as the hands and feet. The
letters, composing the holy name are found in the words: Addir, verse 2; Ja
rea ch, verse 4; Adam, verse 5; Melohim, verse 6; Tanischi lenu, verse 7.
The prayer reads as follows: May it please thee, Oh, Rechmial Eel, to grant
th at I may obt ain love, grace and favou r in t he eyes of men acc � rding to
thy holy will. Amen! - Selah ! -
PSALM 9. - The principal att ribute of this Psalm according to the precept
is, that it is an unfail ing remedy in the restorat ion of male chi ldren, who
are feeble in healt h, when no medicines and help are at hand. This Psalm
should also be prayed against the power and mal ignity of enemies. In the
fi rst in st ance write this Psalm, with its holy name, upon pure parchment,
with a new pen, and hang it around the pat ient's neck. Afterwards repeat
the prayer w ith reverence, and think at t he same time of the holy name
of E heje Aischu E heje, th at is, I am he that will be, and utter the following
prayer: All merciful
Fat her! for the sake of t hy mig hty a d orable and holy name, E heje Aischer
E heje, may it please t hee to take away from N., son of R., the illness (here
name the disease} from which he suffers, and reli eve him from his pains. Make
him whole in sou l, body and mind, and release him during his life from all
plagues, injury and danger, and be thou his helper. Amen.
In the second case repeat this Psa lm and pray devout ly: May it be
agree able to thy wil l for thy sake of t he most holy name E heje Aisher E
heje, to release me from the power of my enemies and opposers, and to
protect me from their persecut ions, as thou once didst protect the Psa lm
ist from the enemies who pu rsued him. Am e n !- Selah!
The letters of this holy name are in t he words: Ode, 2; Haojeff, verse 7
and verse 1 6; and in alphabeti cal order in the At Basch.

spirit, l et him fi l l a new earthen pot with water from the spring, and in the
name of the pat ient, pour into it pure ol ive oil, and pronounce over it this
Psalm nine times, keeping in mind consta nt ly the adorable name of Eel
Mez, which means Strong God of the oppressed, and at each end ing of t he
Psalm: May it be thy most holy wi ll , Oh, Eel Mez, to heal the body and soul

listening ear to the prayer of thy humblest creature, and wi lt ful fil his
desires. Hear my prayer also, loving Father, and let it be pleasing to thy

schmoa, verse 7; Lo, verse 4 (after the order of At Basch), and Chattaim, verse
9.
Since the author has neither a holy name nor prayer for the above Psalm, it
may be presu med that the frequent repetition of the Psalm is su ffi cient for all
pu rposes intended.
PSALM 28. - Do you wish you r enemy to become reconciled to you ? Pro
nounce this Psalm, with the appropriate holy name Aile, and a su itable prayer
trusting in the power and readiness of the G reat Ru ler of hearts, and so, you r

the evening, this Psalm with the most holy name of Aha, ten times with
great reverence; and then in fu ll tru st in the power of G od, set the pot u pon

The l etters constituting this holy name are found in the words: Palteni,
verse 2, and Hammesachlim, verse 22.
REMARK: The translator regards it necessary to remark once for all, that
prayers especially adapted to these as well as many of the fol lowing
Psalms are wanting, and that the author undoubtedly thought that the
prayers al ready given would enable each one to extemporize a su itable
prayer. This presum ption is the more probable, since we find further on in
the work, that
the author exhorts all to engage in prayer to God, without pescribing any
particul ar form. Another.-<: ircumstance, however, related to the holy names, and
if these are wanting it was so ordered by the ancient Kabal ists, and on this
account it shou ld be particularly noted at all times.
PSALM 32. - Whoever prays this Psalm daily receives grace, love and

deprive you of your office and installed another in your place, you should pray
these three times a day for three successive days, together with a prayer that is
appropriate to your circumstances, and by doing this you will perceive incredible
things. Your enemies will be put to shame and you will be un scathed.
The 42nd Psa lm possesses this pecul iar characteristic. If you wish to be
sure in regard to a certain cause, and desire to obtain information through a
dream, you must fast one day and shortly before retiring to rest you must pray
this Psa lm and the holy name Zawa, (which means Lord of H osts) -

same time.

verse, the most wonderful virtue, when it is used in accordance with the nature of
ex isting ci�cumstances, and when it is combined with other scriptural passages,
holy names of angels, characters and prayers, it is said, for example:
Prayer through which all distress, danger and suffering may be turned aside.
If any one should be in danger of his life, or become distressed, be it what it
may, such as being attacked by an incurable disease, pesti lence, fire or water,
overwhelmed by enemies or murderers, in battles, sieges, robberies, close
imprisonment, etc., let him confess his sins first of all, and then speak the Vi hi
Nasmprayer (the name by which the 91 st Psalm with the aforesaid verse is
usually known), ninety-nine times, according to the number of the two hol iest
names of G od, Jehovah Adonei. Each time when he comes to the fourteenth
verse, "Because he hath set his love upon me," etc., he shall keep in mind the
holy name, and then pray devoutly each time: "Thou art the most holy, king over
all that is revealed and hidden, exalted above all that is high, sanctify and glorify
thy adorable name in this thy world, so that all the na tions of the earth may
know that thine is the glory and the power, and that thou hast secured me from
all distress, but especially out of painful emer gency (here the object of the
prayer must be distinctly stated), which has overtaken N., son of R. And I
herewith prom ise and vow that I will now and ever after this, as long as I shall
live upon the earth, and until I return to the dust from which I was taken." (Here
the vow must be verba lly stated,
stating what we wil l do, perform or give in the service of our C reator. The
vow may consist in fasting, giving alms, or in the daily reading of several
chapters of the Holy Scriptures. Psa lms, of the Sohar or of the Talmud,
releasing of captives. nursing the sick and burying the dead.) "Praised be
Jehovah, my Rock and my Sa lvation . Thou w i lt be my representative and
intercessor, a nd wilt help me, for thou helpest thy poor, feeble and humble
creature, and in time of need releasest from fear and danger, and dealest
mercifu lly with thy people; merc iful and forgiving, thou hearest the prayer
of every one. Praised art thou, Jehova h, thou who hearest my prayer." (The
last words should be repeated seven times at each ending of the prayer.)
And now, whoever will. punctually observe the foregoing instructions three
days in succession, in full trust in the mighty help of G od, he may rest assured
of the assistance which he desires.
Kabal ists, and especially the celebrated Rabbi I saac Loria have as su red
us that in a time of pesti lence or general emergency, the Vihi Noam prayer shou
ld be prayed seven times da ily connecting with it in the mind the figure of the
golden candlestick, when it is composed of forty-one holy and important words
and names of this Psalm with which we should especially consider the holy names
in their order. The following are the names.
Vean lmi l i r,
Mii, lets. l bak.
Aab. Veal, Beni,
Aan, Betu, Jaub,
lma, Mili, Wich,
Beoba. Aki., llu,
Aim, Miz, Uma,
Tmol, Vetat, Rul,
Tetak, Pesch, Kuck
lakad. l ba, Atcham,
Schin, Ktaz. Raasch,
Mehoh, Ana.
(See Figure A - page
32)
After this should be spoken verses, 21 -26, chapter xii, of Exodus, and with
them keeping in mind the names conta ined in the 23rd and 26th verses. in the
fol lowing order:
As also Vohu, Uha, Bam. Bili. Zel, Holo, Vesop, and finally the holy name:
Nischasz les.
And now. he who observes all these things to the very letter, and who can
keep in his memory all the letters, poi nts or vowels, he shall be safe from all
danger, shall be as strong as steel, so that, no firearms can harm him. The
certainty of this is shown by the Kabal ists, because the letter Seijid is not to be
found in the entire Psalm, and since the word Seij in or Kie Seijin embraces within
its meaning all deadly weapons, this conclusion is entirely correct.
REMARkS BY THE TRANSLATOR
The extraord inary powers ascribed to the 91 st Psalm may all be right and
proper enough, but it is to be regretted that the reader cannot avail himself of its
benefits, espeCially in the last experiment, because all the recorded holy names
consist of the first letter of all the words of the 91 st Psalm, and like wise of the
23rd and 28th verses of Exodus, chapter xii, a passage which has al ready been
quoted. It is, therefore, impossible to pronou nce this name, properly, neither can
it be translated into E nglish or into any other language. And how shall we then
memorize the first letters of each word of the Psalms together with the points or
vowels belonging to them? If any one, notwith standing the difficu lties attending
the use of this Psalm, should desire to avail himself of its virtues, then he must
undertake the burdensome task of learning the Hebrew language, or he must
write it, and wear it upon his heart as an amu let.
PSALM 92. - He who desires to attain to high honors ; let him take with
this object in view, a new pot fil led with water. Place in it myrtle and vine
leaves, and pronounce over it, with perfect trust. the following Psa lms,
namely, 92, 94, 23, 20. 24, and 1 00, three times in succession, and at
each time let him wash himself out of the pot and afterward anoint his
face and whole body with the water; then turn his face toward the north,
pray to God for the ful fi llme nt of his desi res, and he wi ll see wonderful
things. He wi ll be as ton ished with his ever-increasing good fortu ne. He
will also. in a wonderful manner, advance f rom one post of honor to
another.
PSALM 93. - There is nothing special recorded of this Psalm, other than
that it is highly recommended to any one who has a suit with a stern and
unjust opponent. The proper use of this Psalm. it is said, will surely win

PSALM 94. - I f you have a hard, unyield ing and bitter enemy, who
oppresses you sorely and causes you great anxiety, repair to an open field
on Monday, take some incense, into you r mouth, turn with your face
toward the East and West, and repeat first the 94th Psalm and then the
92nd, seven times keeping in mind at the same time the holy name Eel
Kanno Taf, which signifies great, strong, zealous and good God, and
pray each time at the ending of these
Psalms: "May it please Thee, 0 great, strong, zealous and good God, to
humble my enemy N., son of R., as thou once did the enemies of our great
teacher Moses, who rests in peace, and who completed this Psalm to thy
glorification. let my prayer arise to thee as did the sweet smell of incense from
the altar of incense, and let me behold thy wonderful power. Amen! Selah!
PSALM 95. - The appropriate holy name of God pecul iar to this Psalm is
Eel which is, great, strong God, and the letters are found in the words: Eel,
verse 3, and lezu r, verse 1 .
The pious bel iever shou ld pray this Psalm for his erring and unbel ieving
brethren.
PSALM 96 and 97. - The holy name of these two Psalms is Jah, and the
letters of the first a re found in the words, J eschuato, verse 2, and Hawn,
verse 7, and those of the other in the words, J ismechu, verse 1 , and Atta,
verse 9. Who soever wi ll pray these two Psa lms three times dai ly, wil l
cause his family great joy and contentment.
PSALM 98.- The holy name of this Psalm is also Jah, and should be pro nounced
in order to establ ish peace and unity between fam il ies. The letters of the holy
name are taken out of the words: Israel, verse 3; and Haschiah, verse 1.
PSALM 99. - With this Psalm there is no holy name recorded, and all who wish
to become really pious are advised to pray it often with proper devotion.
PSALM 1 00. - The holy name J ah, so often mentioned already, is also
appro priate to this Psalm, and whoever prays it several days successively
seven times, wil l overcome all his enem ies. The letters of this holy name
are re corded in verse 3, and in Aetodah, verse 4.
PSALM 1 01.- Whoever bears this Psalm in addition to the 68th u pon his person,
written upon parchment, is secure from the persecution of evil spirits and
vindictive persons.
PSALMS 1 02 and 103. - Both these Psalms are said to be very good for
barren women by the use of which they may receive grace and favor from G
od. The holy name of the one is cal led )ah, and is taken from Anneni,
verse 3, and the name of the other is Aha, and is taken from the word
Adonai, verse 1 2, and from Sela, verse 20.
33
PSALM 1 04. - The frequent and .earnest prayer of this Psalm is said to be
attended with such great power, that through it the Masick may be de stroyed.
The work Masick signifies, according to its poet, only something hurtful,
something that will cause harm, it may be by spirits, beings or animals. Gen
erally, however, the J ews understood the term to mean the Devil, and with its
connections in this place the word must mean original sin and the propensity to
commit sin.
The letters of the holy names are taken from Lejaikof, verse 7, and
H odu, verse 1, and further from Sochren i, verse 4, and from Tehil lato,
verse 2 of the 1 06th Psa lm and fi nally from J ischlach, verse 1 9, and
Verinna, verse 21 .
PSALM 1 08. - Write this Psalm with its proper holy name, Vi, (two letters from
the most holy name of Jehovah, in which Kabbal ists seek through its many
divisions, great secrets), upon clean parchment, and hide it in a secure spot
behind the door of your house, and then your going and com ing will be blessed,
and you will be successful in all your business transactions.
PSALM 1 09. - Have you a mighty enemy, who plagues and oppresses you,
fill a new jug with new, sparkling wine, add some mustard to it, and then
repeat this Psalm three days successively, while at the same time you keep
in mind the holy name of Eel (great and strong G od), and afterward pour
the mixture before the door of you r enemy's dwel ling. Be careful,
however, that you do not sprinkle a single drop upon yourself when in the
act of pouring it out.
The letters of the name Eel are found in the words, Elhoim, verse 3, and in
Ki Jamood, verse 5.
PSALM 110 and 11 1 . - The first of these Psa lms is marked with the holy
name Jah, and by its frequent use in the form of a prayer, and a man may
compel all enem ies and opposers to bow to him and beg for quarter and
peace.
Throughout praying the 111th Psalm a man may acqu ire many friends
without the necessity of keeping constantly in mind any special holy name.
PSALM 112 and 113.- By praying the first of these Psalms a man will increase in
might and power from time to time, and by praying the second devoutly it is
possible to check growing heresy and infidel ity. Neither of these Psalms has a
pecu liar holy name.
PSALM 114.- The Holy name of this Psalm consists of two letters, taken together
from the names Adonai (Lord), and Jehovah, namely Aha, which
may be found in this Psalm in the words J iszraoel, verse 1, and Jehuda, verse
2. If you desire success in your trade or business, w rite this Psalm with its
appropriate holy name upon cle an parchment, and carry it about your per son
constantly in a small bag prepared espec ially for this purpose.
PSALM 11 6.- Whoever prays this Psalm daily with devotion, trusting fully in God,
will be safe from violent death, neither will he be overtaken by a sudden death.
PSALM 117.- Did you make a vow to obtain a certain commandment or perform a
good work, and fail in the performance of them through forgetful ness or
carelessness, as soon as you recollect your remissness pray this Psa lm with a
broken and contrite heart.
PSALM 1 1 8 . - I f you pray this Psalm often and devoutly, you wil l be able
to si lence all free-thinkers, scoffers of re ligion and heretics, who labor to
lead you astray.
PSALM 119.- This it is well known is the largest of all the Psalms, and con sists in
the Hebrew of eight alphabets, but in such a manner, that each letter appears in
undisturbed regularity, and through this there arose twenty-two spec ial
divisions, which are included in each eight verses, because a particu lar power is
ascribed to each division, which I cannot present to the reader in clearer manner
than by placing each letter before him which forms the par ticu lar division.
ALE PH .- The eight verses of this letter, which all begin with Aleph, should
be pronounced over a man whose limbs shake and quiver, and if this be done in
a low and even voice, he will be rel ieved. If any one has made a vow, which has
become bu rdensome to fulfill, it will be easy for him to keep his prom ise.
B ETH .-It is said that through the second division from the ninth ·to the
sixteenth verse, a man may obtain a good memory, an open heart, desi rous to
learn, and an extended intelli gence. Whosoever desi res to attain th is must
begi n as follows: Remove from a hard-boiled egg the shel l deftly and cleanly,
so that the inside shal l remain uninju red, and pray over it the above eight
verses as well as the fourth verse, of Deutoronomy, xxxi ii, and eight verses of
joshua, i, and also the holy name of the angels Chosniel, Schrewniel and
Mupiel. The translation of these th ree angel-names it is not necessary to
know because they must not be pronounced, but since it wi ll be of interest to
the reader to know the meaning of them, it wi ll not be superfluous to give
them here. Chosniel, signi fies Cover, or overshadow me, mighty God!
(namely, with the spirit of wisdom and knowledge.) Schrewniel, turn me,
again, mighty God! that is, change me, convert me in to a better man or
woman, as David once said: "Create in me, oh God (namely, let me attend
upon the decrees of thy laws, as if I heard and received them from the mouth
of God himself.) Finally the following must also be prayed over the egg: Open
and enlarge my heart and understand ing, that I may hear and comprehend
everyth ing that I read, and that I may never forget it.
35
All th is must be done on a Thursday evening, after fasting the enti re day, and
then the egg must be inserted whole into the mouth, and when it is eaten, the
four firs! verses of this division must be repeated th ree times in succession.
VAU.- Speak these eight verses, 41 to 48, properly over water, and
give it to your servant or dependent to drink, and then your ru le and
power over him will become easy and agreeable, and he wi l l serve you
will ingly.
If you have been led into an undertaking that prom ises evil results,
through the misrepresentations of evil cou nsellors, repeat this division eighteen
times, and you will find means to withdraw from the undertaking without inju ry
to yourself.
TETH.- The division of the letter Teth, verses 65 to 72, is an easy, qu ick
and tried remedy to cure the severest case of kidney or liver complaints, or to
take away pain in the hips. Pronounce these eight verses properly, specially and
reverently over the sick person and he will conva lesce.
JOD. - Wou ld you find grace and favor with God, and man, pray at
the close of each morn ing prayer the division of this letter, verses 70 and
80, trusting fully in the mercy and grace of God, and your prayer wil l be
heard.
CAPH. - I f one of yours ha s a dangerous sore, or a burning swell ing
on the right side of the nose, pray the eight verses of this division verses 81
to 88, ten times, in a low and conjuring voice, over the sore, and you wi ll
perceive to your aston ishment and joy, that the otherwise incurable sore
will be healed.
NUN.- Have you a mind to travel, pray this division, verses 105 to 112,
which begins with the words: "For thy word is a lamp to my feet," a few days
previous to starting upon your journey, each time after the morning and even ing
prayer, and you wi ll accomplish your journey safely and will prosper in your
avocation.
SAMECH.- If you have a favor to ask of a superior, pray, before pre senting
you r petition, or before you attempt to ask the favor verbally, the eight verses
of the letter Samech, verses 113 to 1 20, and you will not go away unheard.
and
the proceeding in both cases must be the same to effect a cure.
37
RESH.- Are your bu rdened with a painful, constantly running boil in the
right ear, pronounce the eight verses of the division of the letter Resh, verses 1
52-1 60, in a low and conjuring voice, over onion-water or juice, and
38
let one drop run into the ear, when you will experience immediate relief.
TAU. - The last division of this Psalm, verses 1 69-1 76, shou ld be used in
the s a m e m a nner as t h e d iv is ion o f the letter Resh, that i s , it shou ld b e
spoken over onion-water, and by its use a boil in the left ear may be cu red. .
Final ly, it is stated at the end of this Psalm; that whosoever is afflicted with
a tearing pain in both arms, in the sides, and in the legs at one and the same
time, shou ld repeat this whole Psalm in the following order: 1. The eight verses
of the letter Aleph, of Tau and Beth. 2. Those of the letter Schin. 3. The division of
the letter Gimmel. 4. The eight verses of the letter Resh. 5. The division of the
letter Da leth. 6. That of the letter Kuf. 7. The eight verses of the letter He. 8.
Those of the letter Zain. 9. The division of the letter Van. 10. The eight verses of
the letter Pe. 11. The division of the letter Zain. 12. The division of the letter Ain. 1
3. The eight verses of the letter Cheth. 14. Those of the letter Tamech. 15 . Those
of the letter Tetch. 16. Of Nun. 17. The eight verses of the letter J ud, and final ly,
18. The division ofthe letters, Mem, Caph, and lamed. This remedy has been tried,
and has proved infall ible. Should any one become afflicted with tearing pains in
the loins, make for him, at the conclusion of this Psa lm, knots, combinations, or
magical knots in water, with or under the names of: Adam, Seth, Enoch, Canaan,
Maba l leel, Jared, Methusa leh, lamech, Ntah, Shem.
(The translator is compel led to admit honestly, that he does not compre
hend this latter clause, and much less is he able to give any directions in regard
to the method employed in making magical-knots, he does not pre sume that any
one will be interested in this matter.)
PSALM 1 20. - I f you must appear before the judge, repeat the Psa lm
before hand, and you wi l l receive grace and favor.
PSALM 1 21. -Are you compel led to travel alone by night, pray this
Psalm reverently seven times, and you will be safe from all accidents

Psalm thirteen times beforehand, and you wi ll be received graciously and

PSALM 1 23. - I f your servant or journeyman has run away from you,
write this Psalm, together with his name, on a leaden or tin plate, when he
will return to you.
PSALM 1 24. - I f you are about to cross a swol len stream, or undertake a jou
rney by water, pray this Psalm before entering the ship, and then you may
commence your journey without fear.
PSALM 125. - I f you are compel led to travel in a country, where you have
avowed enemies whom you have reason to fear on account of threatened inju ry
to yourself, then take, before entering the cou ntry, both your hands full of salt,
pronounce this Psalm seven times over it, and then scatter it into the air towards
the four quarters of the globe, and by so doing, not one of your enem ies will be
able to bring any harm against you.
PSALM 1 26. -A re you so unfortunate that your children are taken away
from you in their infancy, and that you are not able to raise any of them
then, when your wife again becomes pregnant, write this Psalm upon four
amulets made out of clean parchment, and add to the last line of each amu
let the names of the following angels: Si nui , Sinsu ni, and Semanglaf, and
afterward hide the amu lets in the four walls of your house, when your
child will live.
PSALM 1 27- Write this Psalm upon pure parchment, place the amulet in a clean
bag, and hang it about the neck of a new-born son immediately after birth, and
no evil will ever befall him afterward.
PSALM 1 28. - Write this Psalm upon clean parchment, and hang it upon
a pregnant woman, when she and the fruit of her body wi ll always be
secure hom unlucky acc idents, and she wi ll have a fortunate confi
nement.
PSALM 1 30. - I f you are living in a besieged city, to and from which no
one can go without danger, and if you have u rgent business, so that you
feel constrained to venture on a journey, then, just as you are about to
leave the ci ty, pray this Psalm in a low and abjuring voice, toward the four
quarters of the earth, 'and tlien you wil l be able to pass all the sentries
without being seen or harmed. A heavy sleep wi ll overcome them, so that
they will not be con scious of your presence.
PSALM 1 31.- He who is so strongly possessed of the evil spirit of pride that he
regards all other people with scorn, but who, upon sober reflection, de sires to
occupy a middle path, if his intolerable pride wou ld only perm it him, is advised
to pray this Psalm reverently three times a day, after the morning and even ing
prayer. His pride will receive a certa in check.
PSALM 1 34. - This very short Psalm, consisting of only three verses, shou
ld
be repeated by every learned man, and especially by every student before
entering col lege.
