Judaism: Present Day
It is traditional to say Psalms 126:1-6, 145:21, 115:18, 118:1, and 106:2 before one begins the Birkat Hamazon on the Sabbath Day and on Jewish Holidays
It is also traditional for some Jews to place a copy of Psalm 121 in the labor and delivery room to promote an easy labor by asking God for mercy. As well, it is placed on the baby's carriage and in the baby's room to protect the child and surround them in learning and with holy objects.
