10 Verses According to the Ramban Corresponding to the Ketoret

Rabbeinu Chida in "Shomer Yisrael" (5) cites the Ramban (Nachmanides), who writes that he cannot remain silent about the importance of reciting the following 10 verses of Tehillim daily (1 verse is from the Prophets). These 10 verses correspond to the 10 attributes (sefirot) through which Ha-Shem governs this world. These 10 verses contain exactly 91 words, which correspond to the gematria of the Name of Ha-Shem: as written - הויה - 26 and as pronounced - אדנות - 65. These verses contain 365 letters, corresponding to the 365 days of the year and the weight of the Ketoret (Maneh) - "shelosh me'ot ve-shishim u-shemona manim." The first letters of each verse spell out the Name of Ha-Shem (when the letters are spelled out in full) - יוד הא ואו הא, and the last letters of the 3rd, 5th, 8th, and 10th verses are pronounced as the Name of Ha-Shem - הויה. Reciting these verses in this way will bring powerful protection to the one who recites them, favor in the eyes of others, and success in all endeavors.

Ki azi ve-zimrat Yah Ado-nai vayehi li lishua" (Behold, G-d is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. For my strength and my song is G-d, the L-rd, who has become my salvation).   Tehillim 71:12 אֱ֭לֹהִים אַל־תִּרְחַ֣ק מִמֶּ֑נִּי אֱ֝לֹהַ֗י לְעֶזְרָ֥תִי חישה - "Elo-him al tirchak mimeni Elo-hai le-ezrati chusha" (G-d, do not distance Yourself from me. My G-d, hasten to my aid). P.S.
