Psalm 27 Mystical Protection Formula?
This morning I listened to a very interesting deep dive by Rabbi Mendel Kaplan into the time-honoured tradition of people reciting Psalm 27 daily as a way of removing any legalistic angelic claims or curses against us. Why Psalm 27? Where did this tradition come from? These are all questions that were covered in this fascinating deep dive into the origins of this tradition that started towards the end of the 1700s.
My Experience Trying to Guard My Dreams Against Unwanted Interference
I have seen firsthand how what people are listening to can influence their dreams.
So lately, I started playing scriptures aloud through the night on my phone using the free YouVersion Bible App. I hoped that this would ensure my dreams would be protected from any other exterior sounds that I would not want to influence my dreams - sirens, screaming neighbours etc.
The other night, I had something quite unusual happen - I awoke to find my app paused at Proverbs 91:2
"I will declare this about the LORD, He is my shelter, my fortress my G-d in Him will I trust!"
This was a good reminder to me of all the times Our Heavenly Father protected me and rescued me. It also was a very important reminder that I can fully rely on Our Father to protect my dreams from outside influence when I earnestly ask Him to help me.
While there is nothing ostensibly wrong with listening to scriptures all through the night, it IS very important to be on guard against developing the wrong attitude about doing this.
I can trust My Father to protect my body, mind, spirit and soul!
Reciting Psalm 27 as Mystical Protection- My Conclusions
What harm could there be in reciting or singing a particular Psalm every day? None really - IF you are doing it in the right frame of mind. Using anything for protection other than relying on Our Creator, whether it is a Psalm, a lucky rabbit's foot or a four-leaf clover is idolatry and direct contravention of the law given centuries ago to Moses:
