The verse of the name

From the letter Resh to the letter Samekh

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 ר to ס: we then take the closest letter by sound, here from ר to ש.

רַגְלֵי חֲסִידָו יִשְׁמֹר וּרְשָׁעִים בַּחֹשֶׁךְ יִדָּמּוּ כִּי־לֹא בְכֹחַ יִגְבַּר־אִישׁ׃

“He guards the steps of His devoted ones, and the wicked are silenced in darkness, for it is not by strength that a person prevails.”

1 Samuel 2:9
