In April 1810, Rebbe Nachman revealed the specific ten
psalms of this tikkun to two of his closest disciples, Rabbi
Aharon of Breslov and Rabbi Naftali of Nemirov, by making
them witnesses to the following vow: “Bear witness to my
words. When my days are over and I leave this world, I will
still intercede for anyone who comes to my grave, says these
ten psalms, and gives a penny to charity. No matter how great
his sins, I will do everything in my power, spanning the length
and breadth of the creation, to cleanse and protect him. I am
very positive in everything I say. But I am most positive in
regard to the great benefit of these ten psalms. These are the
ten psalms: 16, 32, 41, 42, 59, 77, 90, 105, 137, 150. This is the
General Remedy (Tikkun Haklali). There is a specific remedy
for each transgression, but this is the general remedy. Go out
and spread the teaching of the ten psalms to all men. It may
seem like an easy thing to say ten psalms. But it will actually
be very difficult in practice.”
