354. THE HOLY BREATH

King David wrote the Psalms with divine inspiration—with the Holy Breath. This Holy Breath is still in the words of the Psalms. When a person recites the Psalms, his breath arouses the Holy Breath in these words. Therefore, when a person recites the Psalms, it is as if King David himself were chanting them.

This is a teaching of Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav. The Holy Breath is the Ruah ha-Kodesh, which can also be translated as “the Holy Spirit.” (See “The Holy Spirit,” p.18). Ruah means both “breath” and “spirit.” Ruah ha-Kodesh is the source of divine inspiration, with which King David is said to have written the Psalms.
