Guest post by Moshe Tzvi Wieder
I thank Moshe Tzvi Wieder for sharing with us his research
into the early Siddur (prayer book). Moshe Tzvi Wieder is the
author of “The Siddur from Its Sources” (הסידור
ממקורותיו) a unique Siddur which provides the earliest known
sources for every part of the Siddur. To learn more about הסידור ממקורותיו, see the site here.

The Mishna (Tamid 7:4) delineates which chapters of Tehillim the Leviim would say for each day of the week. While it does not explicitly state the ending of each section, both logic and early manuscript evidence bear out that the Leviim would stop at the end of each chapter.
