Reading Tehillim by Days of the Week and Month - How to Attain Deliverance

It is stated in Tehillim 55:19 - "Pada v'shalom nafshi mikrav li, ki b'rabim hayu imadi" - (He redeemed my soul in peace from the battle [that was] against me, for there were many who strove with me). The month of Kislev - in Chassidus, "the month of redemption" - on the 10th of Kislev 5588, Rebbe DovBer, the Mitteler Rebbe, was released from his imprisonment in the city of Vitebsk, and on the 19th of Kislev 5559, the Alter Rebbe was released from his imprisonment in St. Petersburg. It is known that both the Alter Rebbe and his son, the Mitteler Rebbe, received word of their release at the very moment they were reciting the verse from Tehillim (55:19): "He redeemed my soul in peace from the battle [that was] against me, for there were many who strove with me." The Alter Rebbe, while in prison, uttered this passage, "He redeemed my soul in peace,", because during that period (due to the great trouble he was in) he read Tehillim daily not only according to the days of the month, but also according to the days of the week. Since the day of his release was a Tuesday (the third day of the week counting from Shabbat), he recited Tehillim 55, corresponding to the third day of the week, which contains the passage "He redeemed my soul in peace." But for Rebbe DovBer, who was released on the 10th of Kislev, this passage appeared not only on the day of the week on which he was released (as with the Alter Rebbe), but also on the day of the month - since, according to the division of Tehillim by days of the month, it turns out that on the tenth day of the month one recites Psalm 55. Interestingly: 1) the division of Psalms by days of the month is more widespread and accessible to everyone, while the division of Psalms by days of the week is generally intended only for select individuals; 2) the connection between the 19th of Kislev and the passage "He redeemed my soul in peace" appears only when the 19th of Kislev falls on a Tuesday, but the connection between the 10th of Kislev and this passage appears and repeats every single year! Therefore, the aspect of "He redeemed my soul in peace" in the case of Rebbe DovBer is expressed not only with regard to select individuals (as with the Alter Rebbe), but also with regard to ordinary Jews, to whom the division of Tehillim by days of the month corresponds.
