Psalms and trust in G-d are a life support which heal. The surrounding vegetation yearn and are included in one's prayer.

Reciting Psalms is a great quality (/height), as if they were (being) said by King David r.i.p. himself, because he said them with Divine inspiration (ruach hakodesh -holy spirit), and the Divine inspiration is resting (innate) inside the words. And when one says the chapters of Psalms, he arouses with the breath (ruach) of his mouth the ruach hakodesh, to the extent that it is considered as if King David r.i.p. himself had said them. And it is extremely propitious (mesugal) to heal the sick, for him to have trust solely in Hashem Yisburach, that through the reciting of Psalms, Hashem will save him. And the trust is an aspect of a cane (/support), just like a person is supported on the cane, so he is supported on the trust, that he trusts that Hashem will save him, as David said (Psalms 18:19), “And Hashem is a support for me.” And therefore through this the sick person is healed, as it is written (Exodus 21:19), “If he rises (from his sickbed) and walks outside on his cane, then exonerate (the attacker).” And this is the aspect of (Isaiah 11:1), “And a staff (/shoot) will come out from the lineage (/stump) of Jesse (-Yeesheye),” which is said of Messiah, who is from the progeny of David. And this is the aspect of (Pesachim 68.): In the future the tzaddikim will resurrect the dead, by means of the cane, in the aspect of (Zechariah 8:4), “And a man with his cane in his hand,” in the aspect of (- based on the verse - Kings 2:4:29), “And you should place (the) my cane on the face of the youth.” He also said then: Winter is the aspect of pregnancy, at which time all the grasses and the vegetation perish, for their vitality is dormant in the winter, and they are then in the aspect of death. And when summer comes, which is the aspect of birth, then all the grasses awaken and come to life, and at this time it is good and very fine when one goes out to converse in the field, “conversing” being prayer, and entreaties, and yearning, and longing for Hashem Yisburach, and then all the vegetation of the field which are beginning then to live and burgeon, all of them are yearning and including themselves inside his words and his prayers. (Words of Rabbi Nachman, article 98). [And see in Likutay Moharan (vol. 2, torah 1), that this is the aspect of (Genesis 24:63), “And Isaac went out to converse <lu-suach> in the field,” that is, his prayer was together with all the vegetation <siach> of the field, for all the vegetation of the field restored (returned) their vitality in (to) his prayer, see there].
