How do you read Psalm 119 by name?

Type the name in Hebrew letters and the mother's name: the site shows, in order, the eight verses of Psalm 119 for each letter, to be read one after the other. A letter that appears twice is read twice.

For a sick person (refuah shleimah) and for the departed: during the shiva, at the end of the thirty days, at the yahrzeit or when visiting the grave.

For the departed, the verses of the letters נ, ש, מ, ה (Neshama, “soul”) are added, taken from the same psalm.

What about final letters?

They are read like the regular letter: ץ = צ ף = פ ן = נ ם = מ ך = כ

The mother's name or the father's?

For a sick person, we pray with the mother's name. For the departed, customs vary: many Sephardim also use the mother's name, others the father's. If in doubt, ask your rabbi.

Sarim redafúni chinam, umidevarechá fachad libi
Sas anochi al imratêcha, kemotse shalal rav
Shéker sanêti vaataêva, toratechá ahávti
Shéva baiom hilaltícha, al mishpetê tsidkêcha
Shalom rav leohavê toratêcha, veen lamo mich’shol
Sibárti lishuatechá Adonai, umitsvotêcha assíti
Shamerá nafshi edotêcha, vaohavem meod
Shamárti ficudêcha veedotêcha, ki chol derachai negdêcha

{צח} מֵאֹיְבַי תְּחַכְּמֵנִי מִצְוֹתֶךָ כִּי לְעוֹלָם הִיא לִי:
{צט} מִכָּל מְלַמְּדַי הִשְׂכַּלְתִּי כִּי עֵדְוֹתֶיךָ שִׂיחָה לִֿי:
{ק} מִזְּקֵנִים אֶתְבּוֹנָן כִּי פִקּוּדֶיךָ נָצָרְתִּי:
{קא} מִכָּל אֹרַח רָע כָּלִאתִי רַגְלָי לְמַעַן אֶשְׁמֹר דְּבָרֶךָ:

Ma ahávti toratêcha, col haiom hi sichati
Meoievai techakemêni mitsvotêcha, ki leolam hi li
Micol melamedai hiscálti, ki edevotêcha sícha li
Mizekenim etbonan, ki ficudêcha natsárti
Micol ôrach ra calíti raglai, lemáan eshmor devarêcha
Mimishpatêcha lo sárti, ki ata horetáni
Ma nimletsu lechiki imratêcha, midevash lefi
Mipicudêcha etbonan, al ken sanêti col ôrach sháker

(פ) {לג} הוֹרֵנִי יְהוָה דֶּרֶךְ חֻקֶּיךָ וְאֶצְּרֶנָּה עֵקֶב:
{לד} הֲבִינֵנִי וְאֶצְּרָה תוֹרָתֶךָ וְאֶשְׁמְרֶנָּה בְכָל לֵב:
{לה} הַדְרִיכֵנִי בִּנְתִיב מִצְוֹתֶיךָ כִּי בוֹ חָפָצְתִּי:

Horêni Adonai dérech chukêcha, veetsarêna ékev
Havinêni veetserá toratêcha, veeshmerêna vechol lev
Hadrichêni bintiv mitsvotêcha, ki vo chafats’ti
Hat libi el edevotêcha, veal el bátsa
Haaver enai mereot shav, bidrachêcha chaiêni

Haaver cherpati asher iagôrti, ki mishpatêcha tovim
Hine taávti leficudêcha, betsidcatechá chaiêni
