Tbh there seem to be several traditions and ways of using them… I particularly like this guys… I’m not sure there is a correct way, just different ways…
The Greek word for psalms is psalmoli, which roughly translates to “musical instrument”. When the text was translated from Hebrew to Greek, that association stuck and lead to the practice of reciting or singing psalms with music.

Yup, which I believe the association with David and Psalms came from the Early Eastern Orthodox Christianity, as I have not found anything mentioned in Jewish texts as of yet. But that is a guess on my end.
Putting history aside, I can see singing the psalms as being effective. As I mentioned earlier, Psalms is poetry which provokes emotion. Music also does the same, and there have been multiple instances of poetry dancing the fine line between literature and music. So it is definitely worth the experimentation.

Definitely! They’re heavy on singing in the language used!
My guess is aiming at stressing the importance of sound vibration… going back to pondering more I think particularly with our words if you think about words being the language used for creation in the Genesis myth

I could see that. Speaking is just as important as the act of writing in the systems of Jewish Magic I have been studying. They do not specifically say it is for the sake of vibration, but sound is vibration, it makes sense.

So angels have a thing for singing
And are higher light vibrationally

I came across this! I have been including the English version of the psalm but I feel like the Hebrew sounds more magical!

According to the free book I posted a link to - psalm 23 is used for increasing peace in life, overcoming lonliness and for serenity and peace of mind
It’s also particularly used for funerals
