With thanks to Rabbi Lesches for an English summary:
The Chabad Beis Din of Eretz Yisroel have issued a call to action, based on directives of the Rebbe that an increase in the following is directly linked with the protection, preservation and salvation of those in Israel:
1. Tehillim:
To recite chapters 20,22,69,122,150, 81-90.
Those who are able should also say the Tehillim for the day of the week.
Tzedakah should be given in conjunction with Tehillim.
2. Mivtzoim:
To increase in all the 10 Mivtzoim:
Ahavas Yisroel, Chinuch, Torah, Tefillin, Mezuzah, Tzedakah, Seforim at home, Shabbos candles, Kashrus, Taharas Hamishpacha, letters in the Sefer Torah.
3. Daily Shiurim:
To commit or strengthen one's learning of
Chitas, Rambam, Moshiach matters and redemption.
4. The power of children
Children should be encouraged to increase in Torah, Tefillah and Tzedakah.
5. Emunah and Bitachon:
To believe and trust that Eretz Yisroel is the land that "the eyes of Hashem are always upon it, from the beginning of the year until the end of the year."

(1) For the leader. A psalm of David. (2) May the LORD answer you in time of trouble,
the name of Jacob’s God keep you safe. (3) May He send you help from the sanctuary,
and sustain you from Zion. (4) May He receive the tokensaReference to azkara, “token portion” of meal offering; Lev. 2.2, 9, 16, etc. of all your meal offerings,
and approvebMeaning of Heb. uncertain. your burnt offerings. Selah. (5) May He grant you your desire,
and fulfill your every plan. (6) May we shout for joy in your victory,
arrayed by standards in the name of our God.
May the LORD fulfill your every wish.
(7) Now I know that the LORD will give victory to His anointed,
will answer him from His heavenly sanctuary
with the mighty victories of His right arm. (8) They [call] on chariots, they [call] on horses,
but we call on the name of the LORD our God. (9) They collapse and lie fallen,
but we rally and gather strength. (10) cOr in the light of v. 7, “O Lord, grant victory to the king; may He answer us when we call.”O LORD, grant victory!
May the King answer us when we call.-c

I cry by day—You answer not;
by night, and have no respite.
(4) bOr “But You are holy, enthroned upon the praises of Israel.”But You are the Holy One,
enthroned,
the Praise of Israel.-b (5) In You our fathers trusted;
they trusted, and You rescued them. (6) To You they cried out
and they escaped;
in You they trusted
and were not disappointed.

they shake their heads. (9) “Let him commit himself to the LORD;
let Him rescue him,
let Him save him,
for He is pleased with him.” (10) You aMeaning of Heb. uncertain.drew me-a from the womb,
made me secure at my mother’s breast. (11) I became Your charge at birth;
from my mother’s womb You have been my God. (12) Do not be far from me,
for trouble is near,
and there is none to help. (13) Many bulls surround me,
mighty ones of Bashan encircle me. (14) They open their mouths at me
like tearing, roaring lions. (15) dLit. “I am poured out like water.”My life ebbs away:-d
all my bones are disjointed;
my heart is like wax,
melting within me; (16) my vigor dries up like a shard;
my tongue cleaves to my palate;
You commit me to the dust of death. (17) Dogs surround me;
a pack of evil ones closes in on me,
eWith Rashi; cf. Isa. 38.13.like lions [they maul] my hands and feet.-e (18) I take the count of all my bones
while they look on and gloat. (19) They divide my clothes among themselves,
casting lots for my garments.

my strength, hasten to my aid. (21) Save my life from the sword,
my precious lifefLit. “only one.” from the clutches of a dog. (22) Deliver me from a lion’s mouth;
from the horns of wild oxen rescuegLit. “answer.” me. (23) Then will I proclaim Your fame to my brethren,
praise You in the congregation.
(24) You who fear the LORD, praise Him!
All you offspring of Jacob, honor Him!
Be in dread of Him, all you offspring of Israel! (25) For He did not scorn, He did not spurn
the pleahOr “plight.” of the lowly;
He did not hide His face from him;
when he cried out to Him, He listened. (26) iLit. “From You is my praise.”Because of You I offer praise-i in the great congregation;

and the peoples of all nations prostrate themselves before You; (29) for kingship is the LORD’s
and He rules the nations. (30) jMeaning of Heb. uncertain; others “All the fat ones of the earth shall eat and worship; / All they that go down to the dust shall kneel before Him, / Even he that cannot keep his soul alive.”All those in full vigor shall eat and prostrate themselves;

(1) For the leader. On shoshannim.aMeaning of Heb. uncertain. Of David.
(2) Deliver me, O God,
for the waters have reached my neck; (3) I am sinking into the slimy deep
and find no foothold;
I have come into the watery depths;
the flood sweeps me away. (4) I am weary with calling;
my throat is dry;
my eyes fail
while I wait for God. (5) More numerous than the hairs of my head
are those who hate me without reason;
many are those who would destroy me,
my treacherous enemies.
Must I restore what I have not stolen?
(6) God, You know my folly;
my guilty deeds are not hidden from You. (7) Let those who look to You,
O Lord, GOD of hosts,
not be disappointed on my account;
let those who seek You,
O God of Israel,
not be shamed because of me. (8) It is for Your sake that I have been reviled,
that shame covers my face; (9) I am a stranger to my brothers,
an alien to my kin. (10) My zeal for Your house has been my undoing;
the reproaches of those who revile You have fallen upon me. (11) When I wept and fasted,
I was reviled for it. (12) I made sackcloth my garment;
I became a byword among them. (13) Those who sit in the gate talk about me;
I am the taunt of drunkards.
(14) As for me, may my prayer come to You, O LORD,
at a favorable moment;
O God, in Your abundant faithfulness,
answer me with Your sure deliverance. (15) Rescue me from the mire;
let me not sink;
let me be rescued from my enemies,
and from the watery depths. (16) Let the floodwaters not sweep me away;
let the deep not swallow me;
let the mouth of the Pit not close over me. (17) Answer me, O LORD,
according to Your great steadfastness;
in accordance with Your abundant mercy
turn to me; (18) do not hide Your face from Your servant,
for I am in distress;
answer me quickly. (19) Come near to me and redeem me;
free me from my enemies.
(20) You know my reproach,
my shame, my disgrace;
You are aware of all my foes. (21) Reproach breaks my heart,
I am in despair;aMeaning of Heb. uncertain.
I hope for consolation, but there is none,
for comforters, but find none. (22) They give me gall for food,
vinegar to quench my thirst. (23) May their table be a trap for them,
a snare for their allies. (24) May their eyes grow dim so that they cannot see;
may their loins collapse continually. (25) Pour out Your wrath on them;
may Your blazing anger overtake them; (26) may their encampments be desolate;
may their tents stand empty. (27) For they persecute those You have struck;
they talk about the pain of those You have felled. (28) Add that to their guilt;
let them have no share of Your beneficence; (29) may they be erased from the book of life,
and not be inscribed with the righteous.
(30) But I am lowly and in pain;
Your help, O God, keeps me safe. (31) I will extol God’s name with song,
and exalt Him with praise. (32) That will please the LORD more than oxen,
than bulls with horns and hooves. (33) The lowly will see and rejoice;
you who are mindful of God, take heart! (34) For the LORD listens to the needy,
and does not spurn His captives.
(35) Heaven and earth shall extol Him,
the seas, and all that moves in them. (36) For God will deliver Zion
and rebuild the cities of Judah;
they shall live there and inherit it; (37) the offspring of His servants shall possess it;
those who cherish His name shall dwell there.
(2) Deliver me, O God,
for the waters have reached my neck; (3) I am sinking into the slimy deep
and find no foothold;
I have come into the watery depths;
the flood sweeps me away. (4) I am weary with calling;
my throat is dry;
my eyes fail
while I wait for God. (5) More numerous than the hairs of my head
are those who hate me without reason;
many are those who would destroy me,
my treacherous enemies.
Must I restore what I have not stolen?
(6) God, You know my folly;
my guilty deeds are not hidden from You. (7) Let those who look to You,
O Lord, GOD of hosts,
not be disappointed on my account;
let those who seek You,
O God of Israel,
not be shamed because of me. (8) It is for Your sake that I have been reviled,
that shame covers my face; (9) I am a stranger to my brothers,
an alien to my kin. (10) My zeal for Your house has been my undoing;
the reproaches of those who revile You have fallen upon me. (11) When I wept and fasted,
I was reviled for it. (12) I made sackcloth my garment;
I became a byword among them. (13) Those who sit in the gate talk about me;
I am the taunt of drunkards.
(14) As for me, may my prayer come to You, O LORD,
at a favorable moment;
O God, in Your abundant faithfulness,
answer me with Your sure deliverance. (15) Rescue me from the mire;
let me not sink;
let me be rescued from my enemies,
and from the watery depths. (16) Let the floodwaters not sweep me away;
let the deep not swallow me;
let the mouth of the Pit not close over me. (17) Answer me, O LORD,
according to Your great steadfastness;
in accordance with Your abundant mercy
turn to me; (18) do not hide Your face from Your servant,
for I am in distress;
answer me quickly. (19) Come near to me and redeem me;
free me from my enemies.
(20) You know my reproach,
my shame, my disgrace;
You are aware of all my foes. (21) Reproach breaks my heart,
I am in despair;aMeaning of Heb. uncertain.
I hope for consolation, but there is none,
for comforters, but find none. (22) They give me gall for food,
vinegar to quench my thirst. (23) May their table be a trap for them,
a snare for their allies. (24) May their eyes grow dim so that they cannot see;
may their loins collapse continually. (25) Pour out Your wrath on them;
may Your blazing anger overtake them; (26) may their encampments be desolate;
may their tents stand empty. (27) For they persecute those You have struck;
they talk about the pain of those You have felled. (28) Add that to their guilt;
let them have no share of Your beneficence; (29) may they be erased from the book of life,
and not be inscribed with the righteous.
(30) But I am lowly and in pain;
Your help, O God, keeps me safe. (31) I will extol God’s name with song,

God stands in the divine assembly;
among the divine beings He pronounces judgment. (2) How long will you judge perversely,
showing favor to the wicked? Selah. (3) Judge the wretched and the orphan,
vindicate the lowly and the poor, (4) rescue the wretched and the needy;
save them from the hand of the wicked.
(5) They neither know nor understand,
they go about in darkness;
all the foundations of the earth totter. (6) I had taken you for divine beings,
sons of the Most High, all of you; (7) but you shall die as men do,
fall like any prince.
(8) Arise, O God, judge the earth,
for all the nations are Your possession.

(1) A prayer of David.
Incline Your ear, O LORD,
answer me,
for I am poor and needy. (2) Preserve my life, for I am steadfast;
O You, my God,
deliver Your servant who trusts in You. (3) Have mercy on me, O Lord,
for I call to You all day long; (4) bring joy to Your servant’s life,
for on You, Lord, I set my hope. (5) For You, Lord, are good and forgiving,
abounding in steadfast love to all who call on You. (6) Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer;
heed my plea for mercy. (7) In my time of trouble I call You,
for You will answer me.
(8) There is none like You among the gods, O Lord,
and there are no deeds like Yours. (9) All the nations You have made
will come to bow down before You, O Lord,
and they will pay honor to Your name. (10) For You are great and perform wonders;
You alone are God. (11) Teach me Your way, O LORD;
I will walk in Your truth;
let my heart be undivided in reverence for Your name. (12) I will praise You, O Lord, my God, with all my heart
and pay honor to Your name forever. (13) For Your steadfast love toward me is great;
You have saved me from the depths of Sheol.
(14) O God, arrogant men have risen against me;
a band of ruthless men seek my life;
they are not mindful of You. (15) But You, O Lord, are a God
compassionate and merciful,
slow to anger, abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness. (16) Turn to me and have mercy on me;
grant Your strength to Your servant
and deliver the son of Your maidservant. (17) Show me a sign of Your favor,
that my enemies may see and be frustrated
because You, O LORD, have given me aid and comfort.

(1) A maskil of Ethan the Ezrahite.
(2) I will sing of the LORD’s steadfast love forever;
to all generations I will proclaim Your faithfulness with my mouth. (3) I declare, “Your steadfast love is confirmed forever;
there in the heavens You establish Your faithfulness.”
(4) “I have made a covenant with My chosen one;
I have sworn to My servant David: (5) I will establish your offspring forever,
I will confirm your throne for all generations.” Selah.
(6) Your wonders, O LORD, are praised by the heavens,
Your faithfulness, too, in the assembly of holy beings. (7) For who in the skies can equal the LORD,
can compare with the LORD among the divine beings, (8) a God greatly dreaded in the council of holy beings,
held in awe by all around Him? (9) O LORD, God of hosts,
who is mighty like You, O LORD?
Your faithfulness surrounds You; (10) You rule the swelling of the sea;
when its waves surge, You still them. (11) You crushed Rahab; he was like a corpse;
with Your powerful arm You scattered Your enemies. (12) The heaven is Yours,
the earth too;
the world and all it holds—
You established them. (13) North and south—
You created them;
Tabor and Hermon sing forth Your name. (14) Yours is an arm endowed with might;
Your hand is strong;
Your right hand, exalted. (15) Righteousness and justice are the base of Your throne;
steadfast love and faithfulness stand before You.
(16) Happy is the people who know the joyful shout;
O LORD, they walk in the light of Your presence. (17) They rejoice in Your name all day long;
they are exalted through Your righteousness. (18) For You are their strength in which they glory;
our horn is exalted through Your favor. (19) Truly our shield is of the LORD,
our king, of the Holy One of Israel.
(20) ThenaReferring to vv. 4–5; cf. 2 Sam. 7.1–17. You spoke to Your faithful ones in a vision
and said, “I have conferred power upon a warrior;
I have exalted one chosen out of the people. (21) I have found David, My servant;
anointed him with My sacred oil. (22) My hand shall be constantly with him,
and My arm shall strengthen him. (23) No enemy shall bMeaning of Heb. uncertain.oppress him,-b
no vile man afflict him. (24) I will crush his adversaries before him;
I will strike down those who hate him. (25) My faithfulness and steadfast love shall be with him;
his horn shall be exalted through My name. (26) I will set his hand upon the sea,
his right hand upon the rivers. (27) He shall say to Me,
‘You are my father, my God, the rock of my deliverance.’ (28) I will appoint him first-born,
highest of the kings of the earth. (29) I will maintain My steadfast love for him always;
My covenant with him shall endure. (30) I will establish his line forever,
his throne, as long as the heavens last. (31) If his sons forsake My Teaching
and do not live by My rules; (32) if they violate My laws,
and do not observe My commands, (33) I will punish their transgression with the rod,
their iniquity with plagues. (34) But I will not take away My steadfast love from him;
I will not betray My faithfulness. (35) I will not violate My covenant,
or change what I have uttered. (36) I have sworn by My holiness, once and for all;
I will not be false to David. (37) His line shall continue forever,
his throne, as the sun before Me, (38) as the moon, established forever,
an enduring witness in the sky.” Selah.
(39) Yet You have rejected, spurned,
and become enraged at Your anointed. (40) You have repudiated the covenant with Your servant;
You have dragged his dignity in the dust. (41) You have breached all his defenses,
shattered his strongholds. (42) All who pass by plunder him;
he has become the butt of his neighbors. (43) You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries,
and made all his enemies rejoice. (44) You have turned back the blade of his sword,
and have not sustained him in battle. (45) You have brought bMeaning of Heb. uncertain.his splendor-b to an end
and have hurled his throne to the ground. (46) You have cut short the days of his youth;
You have covered him with shame. Selah. (47) How long, O LORD; will You forever hide Your face,
will Your fury blaze like fire? (48) O remember bMeaning of Heb. uncertain.how short my life is;-b
why should You have created every man in vain? (49) What man can live and not see death,
can save himself from the clutches of Sheol? Selah. (50) O Lord, where is Your steadfast love of old
which You swore to David in Your faithfulness? (51) Remember, O Lord, the abuse flung at Your servants
bMeaning of Heb. uncertain.that I have borne in my bosom [from] many peoples,-b (52) how Your enemies, O LORD, have flung abuse,
abuse at Your anointed at every step. (53) Blessed is the LORD forever;
Amen and Amen.

(1) A prayer of Moses, the man of God.
O Lord, You have been our refuge in every generation. (2) Before the mountains came into being,
before You brought forth the earth and the world,
from eternity to eternity You are God.
(3) You return man to dust;aOr “contrition.”
You decreed, “Return you mortals!” (4) bMeaning of Heb. uncertain.For in Your sight a thousand years
are like yesterday that has passed,
like a watch of the night. (5) You engulf men in sleep;-b
at daybreak they are like grass that renews itself; (6) at daybreak it flourishes anew;
by dusk it withers and dries up. (7) So we are consumed by Your anger,
terror-struck by Your fury. (8) You have set our iniquities before You,
our hidden sins in the light of Your face. (9) All our days pass away in Your wrath;
we spend our years like a sigh. (10) The span of our life is seventy years,
or, given the strength, eighty years;
but the bMeaning of Heb. uncertain.best of them-b are trouble and sorrow.
They pass by speedily, and we cOr “fly away.”are in darkness.-c (11) Who can know Your furious anger?
Your wrath matches the fear of You. (12) Teach us to count our days rightly,
that we may obtain a wise heart.
(13) Turn, O LORD!
How long?
Show mercy to Your servants. (14) Satisfy us at daybreak with Your steadfast love
that we may sing for joy all our days. (15) Give us joy for as long as You have afflicted us,
for the years we have suffered misfortune. (16) Let Your deeds be seen by Your servants,
Your glory by their children. (17) May the favor of the Lord, our God, be upon us;
let the work of our hands prosper,
O prosper the work of our hands!
