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.

(פ) {צז} מָה אָהַבְתִּי תוֹרָתֶךָ כָּל הַיּוֹם הִיא שִׂיחָתִי:
{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:
{קב} מִמִּשְׁפָּטֶיךָ לֹא סָרְתִּי כִּי אַתָּה הוֹרֵתָנִי:
{קג} מַה נִּמְלְצוּ לְחִכִּי אִמְרָתֶךָ מִדְּבַשׁ לְפִי:
{קד} מִפִּקּוּדֶיךָ אֶתְבּוֹנָן עַל כֵּן שָׂנֵאתִי כָּל אֹרַח שָׁקֶר:

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

97. O how I love your Torah! It is my meditation all the day!
98. Your commandments have made me wiser than my enemies; for they are always with me!
99. I have more understanding than all my teachers; for your testimonies are my meditation!
100. I understand more than the elders, because I keep your precepts!
101. I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep your word!
102. I have not departed from your judgments; for you have taught me!
103. How sweet are your words to my taste! Sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104. Through your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way!

Tehillim 119 - Letter ה

(פ) {לג} הוֹרֵנִי יְהוָה דֶּרֶךְ חֻקֶּיךָ וְאֶצְּרֶנָּה עֵקֶב:
{לד} הֲבִינֵנִי וְאֶצְּרָה תוֹרָתֶךָ וְאֶשְׁמְרֶנָּה בְכָל לֵב:
{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!
