Psalms for Elevating a Soul
Benefits of Reciting Psalms
Question
Hello, I am interested in reciting chapters of Psalms every day for the elevation of my grandmother's soul. I would like to know more about the benefits of doing so, which chapters I should read, and at what time. It's most convenient for me before the Shema prayer.
Answer
Greetings,
Reciting Psalms greatly elevates the soul, much like studying Mishna. You may choose any Psalm to recite; there is a special sequence established by the ancients for recitation at a cemetery, which you may do in full or in part. Psalms should not be recited from nightfall until midnight.
