Anyone who says this psalm from the beginning of the month of Elul until after Simchat Torah, even a bad decree written against a person from heaven, can nullify it and nullify all bad and harsh decrees from him, and he will retire justified in judgment... The reason is that from the beginning of the month of Elul, thirteen sources are opened, containing thirteen measures of mercy [thirteen measures of mercy] and they reveal and illuminate below. A beautiful face, a parashah after the Lord in the hands of Ati: They used to say from the beginning of the month of Elul until after Sukkot, Psalm 27, and I heard the reason because it contains the thirteen names of the Lord [the name of the Lord is said 13 times] in contrast to the thirteen measures mentioned in Elul. The Hidda in the book of Moreh shows us: It is a good custom to say after every prayer [all days of the year] the psalm 'To David, O Lord, O my soul', and especially from the beginning of the month of Elul until Hoshana Rabbah. 2. Samuel 1:33: And David and his men came to the city, and behold, it was burned with fire, and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters were taken captive. And David and the people who were with him lifted up their voices and wept until they had no strength to weep. And David's two wives were taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite. And David was greatly distressed because the people said to stone him, because the soul of all the people was bitter, every man for his sons and for his daughters. And David strengthened himself in the Lord his God. Tanchuma commands: 'To David, O Lord, O my soul' – these are the bands of Amalek, whom he waged war with at night and killed, as it is said, 'And David smote them from the evening of the morning until the evening of the next day.' And who would give them light? Lightning bolts and lightning bolts. Yalkut Shimoni Tehillim 27: 'To eat "My flesh" - these are the two wives of David who were taken captive, as it is said, "And he clung to his wife, and they became one flesh." Holy Scriptures 26, page 567: On every day of this month, a psalm is recited twice that begins, "To David, the Lord is my light and my strength, the Lord is the strength of my life," and these titles should be explained: "The Lord is my light" - to see which path of life and goodness is, since there are many obstacles and trials in a person's path... "The Lord is my strength" - the Holy One, the Blessed One, helps him to win the war of inclination, to overcome all obstacles and to withstand all trials. Rabbi Ovadia of Bartanura: On the 28th of Iyar, the day of his death [of Samuel], people come from all the surrounding areas and light torches, and many barrennesses are cured, and the sick are healed. Seder Olam Rabba 13: Samuel died about four months before the death of Saul [meaning that Saul died at the end of Elul]. 2 Samuel 1:1: And it came to pass after the death of Saul and David returned from smiting the Amalekites, and David dwelt in Ziklag [meaning that the battle of Ziklag was at the end of Elul, and Psalm 27 is said during these days]. 3. Deuteronomy 21:10: For when you go out to battle against your enemies, and the Lord your God will deliver them into your hand, and you will take them captive. 20:3: Hear, O Israel, you are approaching today to battle against your enemies; do not let your hearts faint, do not fear, do not hasten, and do not be dismayed by them: for the Lord your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies, to save you - Rashi: 'Do not let your hearts faint, do not fear, do not hasten, and do not be dismayed From Them - Four warnings against four things that the kings of the nations do: They beat their shields to make a noise to one another, and they trample their horses to make a noise of the clatter of their horses' hooves, and they shriek with their voices, and they blow trumpets and all kinds of sounders. Sha'arei Teshuvah to our Rabbi Yonah, Sha'ar 3, 32: We were warned by this: If a person sees that trouble is near, the salvation of the Lord will be in his heart and he will trust in it. Our Rabbis in the Book of the Flour: Regarding security, so that no doubt will interfere with his security, and even if evil and trouble find him, he will strive to serve the Lord and trust in Him truly, for his rewar...
