Perek Yomi Tehillim -

Daily Readings from the Psalms

Weekly Table
There are two ways Orthodox Jews read through the book of Psalms (Tehillim). One way is to read through the entire Tehillim every week. Using this method, each day of the week is assigned a specific portion of the whole, as follows:

Sun

Mon

Teu

Wed

Thu

Fri

Sat

1-29

30-50

51-72

73-89

90-106

107-119

120-150

For example, on Sundays you would recite Psalm 1 (Mizmor Aleph) through Psalm 29 (Mizmor Kaf-Tet), on Mondays you would recite Psalm 30 (Mizmor Lamed) through Psalm 50 (Mizmor Nun), and so on, until the entire book is read through on Shabbat.  The process repeats the following Sunday with the same portions.

Monthly Table
The other method is to read through Tehillim every month. Using this method, each day of the Hebrew month is assigned a (smaller) portion of the whole, as follows:

Note: Since the Hebrew calendar alternates between a short month (29 days) and a long month (30 days), during a short month, psalms 145-150 are recited on the twenty-ninth day of the month.

Psalms of the Heart is a book/CD providing a number of King David's most beloved psalms in Hebrew. While you listen to the words, whether to practice, meditate or to solemnly pray, you'll also hear the heavenly music of King David's harp.
