Shimush Tehillim-When to Say This Psalm<\/span><\/em>
\n<\/span>For being pursued by an evil spirit–Verse 5 states that God does not desire any evil, nor does he want it to dwell in man\u2019s midst. In verse 12, the Psalmist writes: \u201cAnd they will rejoice, all who take refuge in You.\u201d<\/span>
\n<\/span>For being liked by an authority or boss–Verse 12 adds: \u201cand they will exalt in You, who love your Name.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Where in the Siddur:<\/span><\/em>
\n<\/span><\/i>Verses 2 & 3 are a part of the Selichot<\/em> (Penitential Service) recited in the evenings leading up to Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur. <\/span>
\n<\/span>Verse 8 comprises the second verse of Ma Tovu, recited during the Birchot HaShachar (Morning Blessings).<\/span><\/p>\n

Biblical Places:<\/span>
\n<\/span>\u05d4\u05bd\u05b5\u05d9\u05db\u05b7\u05dc– <\/span>Heichal<\/em> <\/span>— Holy Temple, a term used to refer to the inner sanctuary of the Temple in Jerusalem. The <\/span>Heichal <\/span><\/em>contained the Holy of Holies, the resting place of the <\/span>Aron Hakodesh<\/span><\/em> (Holy Ark)*. It also housed the Menorah, Altar of Incense, and Table of the Showbread.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

*The <\/span>Aron Hakodesh<\/span><\/em>, while present in the first Temple, was buried, and hence its location was not known, during the period of the second Temple.<\/span><\/p>\n

Talmud on Tehillim<\/span><\/em>:<\/span><\/i>
\n<\/span><\/i>Verse 8: \u201cAs for me, through Your abundant kindness I will enter Your house; I will prostrate myself toward Your Holy Sanctuary in awe of You.\u201d The Talmud, Berachot 30b, teaches that one should not rise to pray the <\/span>Shemoneh Esrei<\/em> <\/span>(Silent Meditation) except out of an attitude of reverence. We learn from here that prayer must be approached with awe and an understanding of the standing before God, and not something done just by force of habit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
