Sefer Shimush Tehillim attributes unique powers to each perek of Tehillim assigning each particular perek to be recited according to specific circumstances, for instance Perek 4 to be recited for success in business; Perek 6 to relieve suffering from eye disease; Perakim 102,103 to be blessed with children; Perek 118 for success in court; and Perek 139 for shalom bayis. Many ancient segulos and shemiros for health, protection and more are derived from this sefer. Shimush Tehillim is an ancient sefer which the Rashba references in his teshuvos (part 1, topic 413) and describes as “accepted by all Gedolei Yisrael.” (The Chida mentions the value of Shimush Tehillim in Shem Hagedolim) and there are those who maintain that it was authored by Rabbi Hai Gaon (Zera Berach; Hama’alos Shlomo; in Rav Pe’alim by Rabbi Avraham ben HaGra p. 130).
