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.

{לה} הַדְרִיכֵנִי בִּנְתִיב מִצְוֹתֶיךָ כִּי בוֹ חָפָצְתִּי:
{לו} הַט לִבִּי אֶל עֵדְוֹתֶיךָ וְאַל אֶל בָּצַע:
{לז} הַעֲבֵר עֵינַי מֵרְאוֹת שָׁוְא בִּדְרָכֶךָ חַיֵּנִי:
{לח} הָקֵם לְעַבְדְּךָ אִמְרָתֶךָ אֲשֶׁר לְיִרְאָתֶךָ:
{לט} הַעֲבֵר חֶרְפָּתִי אֲשֶׁר יָגֹרְתִּי כִּי מִשְׁפָּטֶיךָ טוֹבִים:
{מ} הִנֵּה תָּאַבְתִּי לְפִקֻּדֶיךָ בְּצִדְקָתְךָ חַיֵּנִי:

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
Hakem leavdechá imratêcha, asher leyir’atêcha
Haaver cherpati asher iagôrti, ki mishpatêcha tovim
Hine taávti leficudêcha, betsidcatechá chaiêni

33. Teach me, O Lord, the way of your statutes; and I shall keep it to the end!
34. Give me understanding, and I shall keep your Torah; I shall observe it with my whole heart!
35. Lead me in the path of your commandments; for I delight in it!
36. Incline my heart to your testimonies, and not to unjust gain!
37. Turn away my eyes from beholding vanity; and give me life in your way!
38. Confirm to your servant your word. which is for those who fear you!
39. Turn away my insult which I fear; for your judgments are good!
40. Behold, I have longed after your precepts; give me life in your righteousness!
