Tehillim 119 for Refuah Shlemah according to the Atbash system and with the names of the forefathers

Shimush Tehillim Kadmon presents interesting segulot for Refuah Shlemah. It is known that Tehillim 119 consists of 22 sections, corresponding to the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet. For someone experiencing pain in the shoulders and in the joints of the arms and legs, Shimush Tehillim Kadmon advises reading the letters of Tehillim 119 in the Atbash sequence. The Jewish tradition contains various methods for revealing the deeper meaning of the Torah. One such method, known in Kabbalah, is called Atbash (the first letter of the alphabet, alef, is replaced by the last letter of the alphabet, tav; the second letter, bet, is replaced by the penultimate letter, shin; and so on). According to Shimush Tehillim Kadmon, this means that Tehillim 119 should be read in the following sequence: א (alef) - ת (tav) ב (bet) - ש (shin) ג (gimel) – ר (resh) ד (dalet) – ק (kuf) ה (he) – צ (tzadi) ן (vav) - פ (peh) ז (zayin) – ע (ayin) ח (chet) - ס (samekh) ט (tet) – נ (nun) י (yud) – מ (mem) כ (kaf) – ל (lamed) Thus, all the letters of the alphabet are read in a special order, according to the Atbash cipher. Shimush Tehillim adds that this is a tried-and-tested segula. Shimush Tehillim then presents another unusual segula associated with healing ailments of the shoulder, arm, and leg joints. The Names of the Forefathers should be recited in genealogical order, from Adam to Shem: Adam - אדם Seth - שת Enosh - אֱנוֹשׁ Kenan - קינן Mahalalel - מַהֲלַלְאֵל Jared - ירד Enoch - חנוך Methuselah - מתושלח Lamech - למך Noah - נח Shem - שֵׁם
