Come and recite this verse for my son who is afraid, put on him a scroll132A Torah scroll. It is forbidden to use sancta as charms., put on him phylacteries, so he will go to sleep, is forbidden. But did we not state, they used to recite the Song of the Afflicted in Jerusalem? Rebbi Yudan said, one means after he was hurt, the other before he was hurt133Reciting verses as prophylactics is permitted. Babli 61a.. What is the Song of the Afflicted? Eternal, how many are my oppressors, and the entire Psalm134Psalm 3..
