Description
   Psalms. The recital of the whole Book of Psalms is widespread, whether as an act of piety by saintly individuals, or by groups of unlearned people. For this purpose "societies of reciters of psalms" (hevrot tehillim) were and continue to be formed, and in recent times a special society has been formed in Jerusalem whereby two separate groups recite the whole Book of Psalms daily at the Western Wall. The psalms are included in their entirety in all large prayer books.
          
Paragraph 2    עם דגושים ומתגים... נחלק לחמשה ספרים ולשבעת ימי השבוע ולשלשים חלקים... גם הוספנו קודם כל מזמור את תוכן ענינו ויה"ר [ויהי רצון] לליל הושענא רבא ותפלה על החולים וסדר המזמורים לכל יום ולשבתות ולמועדים כמנהג רוב הקהלות וגם לפי דעת הגר"א ז"ל. ועתה הוספנו תפלה ליאר צייט קודם הלמוד ותפלה על הנפטר אחר הלמוד.
