# The Rabbis instituted to say Pesukei Dezimrah starting with the blessing Baruch Sheamar and ending with the blessing Yishtabach. <Ref> Shulchan Aruch 51:1. Rambam (tefilah 7:12) bases it on Shabbat 118b that one should say tehilim of Hashem’s praise daily. Rif and Rosh Brachot 5, learn it from Brachot 32a that a person should prepare praise before his requests. Tosfot Brachot 46a, Pesachim 104b state that since there is a bracha it must ben established by rabbis and not is not just a minhag. The Pri Chadash 51 writes that it is an establishment of the Geonim against the Birkei Yosef 51:1 who quotes Tur who quotes Sefer Hayecholet that Yishmael ben Elisha Cohen Gadol wrote Baruch Sheamar and the mentioning of it in the Yerushalmi and Zohar. </ref>

# In Nusach Sefard, Hodu, Hod V'Hadar, V'hu Rachum, Hoshiah, Mizmor Shir, Hashem Melech, Hoshieinu, and Lamnatzeach come before Baruch Sheamar. Hodu is put first since it is related to [[Korbanot]]. Part of Hodu was sung in the Mishkan during the Tamid service every day until the inauguration of the Beit Hamikdash from 43 years before. <ref>Beis Yosef, Orach Chaim 50</ref>

#One should not add to the mizmorim or repeat them unless one wants to repeat something for which he did not have Kavanah the first time. <ref> Sh”t Otzrot Yosef 4:1 proves it from Siddur Bet Ovad (Hilchot Pesukei Dezimrah 66b) who says adding unneeded verses or repeating unnecessarily would be an interruption based on Rama 51:9. Similarly, Sefer HaEshkol says that since parts of Vayevarech David and Az Yashir are not part of David’s works they should be said after [[davening]] to avoid an interruption. However Yaavetz in Mor Ukesiah says one can add praises from Tehilim and so the Chaye Adam 20:1 uses this to challenge Shulchan Aruh 65:2. Yet, since Shulchan Aruch is strict not to say the pasuk of Shema during Pesukei Dezimrah, Shulchan Aruch must hold that verses not established in Pesukei Dezimrah can not be added, so holds Chida in Moreh Etzba 3(74), Petach Dvir 65:3. Yeshuot Yacov 51:1 says it may be an interruption to repeat the verse “Poteach et Yadecha” without Kavanah. Kaf Hachaim 51:33 one should not repeat “Poteach et Yadecha” in Pesukei Dezimrah.

Whether one can say [[Shmoneh Esrei]] if one intentionally missed the time is a dispute of the achronim and so one can pray with a stipulation. Halacha Brurah 51:6 writes, however, for Pesukei DeZimrah, since it is a dispute and no stipulation is valid, we do not say the bracha as it is a Safek Bracha. </ref>

== Women Saying Pesukei DeZimrah ==  
# The practice of Sephardic women is that if women want to say it, since there is no obligation for them to do so, they may only say Pesukei DeZimrah without Hashem’s name in the bracha. The practice of Ashkenazi women is to say the bracha with Hashem’s name.  <Ref>Halacha Brurah 51:7 from his [[teshuva]] Sh”t Otzrot Yosef 4:3. Shulchan Aruch 589:6 says women may not make [[brachot]] that are on time bound positive mitzvot and Rama says women may make these [[brachot]]. Whether women are obligated in Pesukei Dezimrah is a dispute in the achronim. The dispute is based on the dispute in the rishonim where women are exempt from time bound mitzvot that are derabanan. (Tosfot Brachot 20b holds they are exempt and Orchot Chaim (Hilchot Tzitzit 31) in name of Rabbenu Tam holds they are obligated.) Since Pesukei DeZimrah is a time bound derabanan mitzvah seemingly it would be dependant on the dispute of the rishonim. In [[Siman 47]], the Taz and Magen Avraham imply from Bet Yosef that women are patur from Pesukei DeZimrah; however the Maharil haChadashot 45:2 pg 53, holds women are chayav and when Bet Yosef quotes the Maharil he leaves out that women are chayav. Mishna Brurah 70:1 implies from Rabbi Akiva Eiger that women are obligated. Or Letzion 2, 5:3 pg 44-5, holds they are not obligated but can still make the bracha since it is praise of Hashem, but Sh”t Yabia Omer O”C 2:165, 8:8 argues that one should not make unnecessary [[brachot]]. </ref>
