Halocho #872 - May one say Tehillim by heart?

The Torah is divided into two parts: The written-law (Tanach) and the oral-law (Mishna and Gemara). 


Even if one knows parts of the written-law by heart, one should be careful not say them without a text.


The exception being those verses that everybody knows by heart, like those Tehillim said often during prayers like אשרי.


If possible, one should pray from a Siddur, since Davening includes many verses that not everybody knows by heart.


Blind people are allowed to say everything by heart.
