Psalm 119 ~ Aleph ~ 1-8

Psalm 119, in it's original language, Hebrew.
Psalm 119 has 176 verses which are divided into twenty-two stanzas, one stanza for each letter of the Hebrew alphabet; within each stanza, each of the eight verses begins (in Hebrew) with that letter. The name of G-d (Yud Kei Vav Kei) appears twenty-four times.
The Jewish tradition is to read the stanzas for the letters of the names of people who are sick or deceased - spelling out the person's name and sometimes ben [son] or bat [daughter] of "Mother's name." Also, the word "Neshama" [soul], which is Nun, Shin, Mem, Heh. Keep in mind that by reading the entire psalm, a person mentions ALL of the souls of everyone who is sick or everyone who has died.
