30-day cycle
Daily Tehilim
The monthly Tehilim cycle, divided into 30 days per the classic minhag. Today's day, by the Hebrew calendar, is highlighted automatically in your browser.
This division lets you finish all of Tehilim once a month: Day 1 of the Hebrew month = chapters 1-9, Day 2 = chapters 10-17, and so on. In a 29-day Hebrew month, on day 29 you also say day 30's chapters to complete the cycle.
The Otot app opens automatically to today's chapters and remembers where you left off. This page shows the full cycle and highlights today's day in your browser.

Frequently asked questions
What is the daily Tehillim cycle?
An ancient practice that divides the entire Sefer Tehillim into 30 portions, so anyone committing to finish Tehillim once a month has a clear path: Day 1 = chapters 1-9, Day 2 = chapters 10-17, and so on. In a 29-day Hebrew month, the chapters of day 30 are recited together with day 29 to complete the cycle.
When does the day "start" in this cycle?
The Hebrew day begins at sunset. In practice most people say their daily Tehillim in the morning or evening, whenever it fits. The division follows the Hebrew calendar day, not the Gregorian.
Is there a halachic requirement?
No formal halachic obligation, but a very widespread minhag found in many siddurim from the past few centuries (especially in Chassidic and Sephardic communities). In Chabad there is an additional practice: a personalized daily psalm based on the davener's age.
What about the Chabad customs?
In Chabad, in addition to (or instead of) the 30-day cycle, the practice is to say "Tehillim L'fi HaZivug" (a chapter that changes by the davener's age). Otot supports the standard 30-day cycle. For specific Chabad customs, ask your local rabbi.
