here are the 3 psalms (83, 130, 142) that the chief rabbi recommended to be prayed daily during the conflict:

Psalm 83

0: A Song. A Psalm of Asaph.
1: O God, do not keep silence; do not hold thy peace or be still, O God!
2: For lo, thy enemies are in tumult; those who hate thee have raised their heads.
3: They lay crafty plans against thy people; they consult together against thy protected ones.
4: They say, "Come, let us wipe them out as a nation; let the name of Israel be remembered no more!"
5: Yea, they conspire with one accord; against thee they make a covenant --
6: the tents of Edom and the Ish'maelites, Moab and the Hagrites,
7: Gebal and Ammon and Am'alek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8: Assyria also has joined them; they are the strong arm of the children of Lot. [Selah]
9: Do to them as thou didst to Mid'ian, as to Sis'era and Jabin at the river Kishon,
10: who were destroyed at En-dor, who became dung for the ground.
11: Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmun'na,
12: who said, "Let us take possession for ourselves of the pastures of God."
13: O my God, make them like whirling dust, like chaff before the wind.
14: As fire consumes the forest, as the flame sets the mountains ablaze,
15: so do thou pursue them with thy tempest and terrify them with thy hurricane!
16: Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek thy name, O LORD.
17: Let them be put to shame and dismayed for ever; let them perish in disgrace.
18: Let them know that thou alone, whose name is the LORD, art the Most High over all the earth.

Psalm 130

0: A Song of Ascents.
1: Out of the depths I cry to thee, O LORD!
2: Lord, hear my voice! Let thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications!
3: If thou, O LORD, shouldst mark iniquities, Lord, who could stand?
4: But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.
5: I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I hope;
6: my soul waits for the LORD more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning.
7: O Israel, hope in the LORD! For with the LORD there is steadfast love, and with him is plenteous redemption.
8: And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

Psalm 142

0: A Maskil of David, when he was in the cave. A Prayer.
1: I cry with my voice to the LORD, with my voice I make supplication to the LORD,
2: I pour out my complaint before him, I tell my trouble before him.
3: When my spirit is faint, thou knowest my way! In the path where I walk they have hidden a trap for me.
4: I look to the right and watch, but there is none who takes notice of me; no refuge remains to me, no man cares for me.
5: I cry to thee, O LORD; I say, Thou art my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.
6: Give heed to my cry; for I am brought very low! Deliver me from my persecutors; for they are too strong for me!
7: Bring me out of prison, that I may give thanks to thy name! The righteous will surround me; for thou wilt deal bountifully with me.

(I've been posting them whenever I do a new Prayer request thread, which gets updated when I have new prayer requests to add or modify, sometimes daily, sometimes every couple of days)

Thanks for posting those again! Psalm 83:4 sounds like the words of the nut case president of Iran. Amazing, isn't it.
