Look for Kircher in Oedipus Aegypticus and the Sepher Sha'ari Tzion, both from the 17th century. Kircher is the more popular of the two, but both have merits. I think the most important thing is to actually capture the essence of the psalms if you plan to employ them. As for the use of the psalms with the 72 names, it is attributed in 2 places, and of course they have different attributions. These are songs and should be sung. Compose your own means of them and you can find beauty in every verse. They are beautiful and powerful, and make great meditations.

The verses chosen for this duty are chosen because the have the name YHVH in them, except one which has ADNI instead and the letters of the name itself. This is consistent to both. Choose a name, VVL, for example - and see the difference. Kircher gives Psalm 88:13 (88:14 in Hebrew). Sepher Sha'ari Tzion gives 121:8.

Here is the hebrew transliteration of those verses:

Psalm 88:13
And I | To you | YHVH | I-ask-with-great-need | and-in-morning | prayer-of-mine | she-is-before-you

Psalm 121:8
YHVH | he-shall-guard | going-forth-of-you | and-coming-in-of-you | from now | and-until-Aeon

Now, of these, which you can use whatever translation you want, or make your own - note each has a different use of the Letters of the Name. This must be understood in the Hebrew. Therefore we need to look at the Hebrew, which I will put in English letters here.

Psalm 88:13 (well, 88:14 in the Tanakh)
V-ANI ALIK YHVH ShVOTI V-B-BQR TPLTI T-QDM-K

Psalm 121:8
YHVH YShMR-TzATK V-BVAK MOTH VOD-OVLM

For Kircher, this is where he sees the name:

V-ANI ALIK YHVH ShVOTI V-B-BQR TPLTI T-QDM-K

The name is backwards in the hebrew, so not backwards in my text, and is VVL. This verse is attributed to KVQ in the Sepher Sha'ari Tzion. They see:

V-ANI ALIK YHVH ShVOTI V-B-BQR TPLTI T-QDM-K

The author of the Sepher Sha'ari Tzion sees the name VVL in verse 121:8.

YHVH YShMR-TzATK VBVAK MOTH VOD-OVLM

In their case it is not backwards in . Take the words the letters come from, and see if it matters

VVL - Kircher - to-you | I-ask-with-great-need | and in the morning

VVL - STzion - And-unto-Aeon | and-to-coming-in-of-you

See how both could have merit even before you start using Gematria, or any other qabalistic methods? Study the Psalms in Hebrew and you can see other possibilities. The most important thing is that it means something to you, and it works.


REGARDLESS, I cannot reccomend this book enough:

Verse of the Psalms that have YHVH in them

I couldn't sleep and was wanting to work on some research for Goetia assitance I am offering someone, so I went through the Bible in Hebrew and made the following list of ALL of the verses of the Psalms that include YHVH. I left the English Verse numbers, because not many people here know hebrew. As early as the establishement of the 72 names, there was a connection to them in the Psalms. The only consistent ruling is that the name YHVH must appear in it, and the Letters of the name must appear, and not in the name of YHVH. The added stipulation is that the three letters must appear in sequence. If you have a Hebrew Bible, you can work them out. Otherwise, I will probably be assembling a list of every possible Psalm for any given one of the names, but it might be a bit before I do it all.

Here is the list, if anyone is curious.

I manually checked every verse of this list against an interlinear bible, but please verify it if you care to.

Hope this is a help to someone.

There's a book that did such work

The Kether David interpretation on book of Psalms.

It uses previous kabbalah books, and lists many god names appearing in similar technics in the book, e.g. the initial or final letters of three consecutives words are one of the 72 names of god.

I'm impressed by brightcrazystar's work - thought of doing the search with a computer, say by using Bar-Ilan university's CD, but never got to it.

Thank You!

I have a LOT of projects like this, some of which need to be updated because of font issues with transfer from older machines. One encompasses the entire Strong's Biblical Hebrew Coincordance, and another the Greek NT.

Ok, So I finished an outline of the 113 verses of the 631 total ones that are used by Kircher and the Sepher Sha'ar Tzion. The interesting thing is neither exclusively use the Psalms Christians attribute to David. So both lists are all all over the place. Also, they have these few in commmon: a total of thirty. Of those, five stand out. The Psalms connected the Names 15,36,42,49,51, and 65, for they are the same in both systems. It is a wonder that Kircher needed to borrow Genesis 1:1 for the 70th name.

The next step is to isolate these and check to see if they actually do have the names in the verses. My ultimate plan is to look at these, find the names, connect them to the Sixth and Seventh books of Moses, and the Sepher Shamah Tehillim, which is a book of Magic on the Psalms.

I am tempted to see if I can get a list of Psalms of David and get the names out them. There are 315 instances of YHVH in the verses of the psalms attributed to David. It would be part of my ultimate key though, which is to find out how many possibile attributions there are to each name right to left, and left to right. This basically means there are 90,864 possibilities to test. Name simularities will make these alot easier; i.e. if a verse does not have a letter common to a given set of the 72 names. This gives me methodology, to start grouping the names for data review.

Ok, I sleep now.

It made me wonder as well.

Already checked, only one of them is there - YLY in Psalm #15.

Thank you for letting me know!

uri_raz, So I have a question, do you know of anyone who holds any conventions to the letters of the names, besides they can not come from YHVH? Can you confirm that? Is their a better set of Psalms to Check, some regarded as more holy? As for which Psalms to use as a priority; I am tempted to leave the six consistent ones the way they are, but to be honest, I want to compile a list of ALL the verses each name can be found in. At this stage, with no duplications and no outside sources, it is clear SSTz is the better option, sorry Kircher. BTW - is this your paper I just found, googling for Psalms and 72 names of God:
http://www.golden-dawn-canada.com/pdf/72 fold name uri raz.pdf

If so, great work, indeed! I am still looking at it. Do you have a pdf of the psalms? As for the 4th name of Kircher, it is my belief he either (unlikely) misread or had a mistranslated copy - and took the last words of the verse for the YHVH requirement (YHDH), or (more likely) - it is the Verse 6:4 incorrectly numbered, or numbered in the Hebrew (6:5).

Ps 6:4 KJV:
"Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake. "

I am tempted to say Kircher, who also uses three verses for double duty, has a lesser eloquence or perhaps just not as much attention to detail: (All Verse are from English numbering, for ease of the people who are on this site. The actual Hebrew may have variances in numbering.)

Kircher assigns three verses two names:
Ps6:5 - name 05 and name 58
33:18 - name 24 and name 64
98:02 - name 16 and name 48

(As your paper mentions, Ps6:5 doesn't in the KJV have the YHVH in it. 6:5 Hebrew does, but only once, so the idea that a verse with YHVH in it more than once can contain more than one name is simply not a factor in either set. Therefore, I will eliminate this.)

SSTz has these:

05 - Ps 80:19 - unused by Kircher
16 - Ps 10:01 - name 12 by Kircher
24 - Ps 95:06 - name 08 by Kircher
48 - Ps 109:30 - name 71 by Kircher
58 - Ps 113:02 - name 61 by Kircher
64 - Ps 30:10 - unused by Kircher

This in terms, brings out a second set of variances, and odder ones at that:
STz has:
12 - Ps 06:04
08 - Ps 119:71
61 - Ps 08:01
71 - Ps 121:5 - Name 12 by Kircher

(Name 12 by Stz is Ps 06:04, unused by Kircher)


I envy your fluency in Hebrew. It would make these alot easier. I know a smattering of Biblical Hebrew, and some general grammar and vocab of Biblical Hebrew. I need a better grasp of the Masoretic Vowel Points. Any advice?
