From the letter Dalet to the letter Kuf

An ancient custom gives each person a verse: the one that begins with the first letter of their name and ends with the last. No verse without a divine Name runs exactly from ד to ק: we then take the closest letter by sound, here from ד to כ.

דָּבְקָה נַפְשִׁי אַחֲרֶיךָ בִּי תָּמְכָה יְמִינֶךָ׃

“My soul clings to You; Your right hand holds me up.”

Psalms 63:9
