Reading the Entire Book of Tehillim Twice in One Day as Atonement

Rav Ovadia Yosef (zechuto yagen aleinu) teaches that there is a remedy for atoning for the gravest sin: read the entire Book of Tehillim twice, study 10 folios of the Zohar HaKadosh, and give 160 coins to charity as a ransom for one's soul. The first of these three practices is reading the entire Book of Tehillim. The gematria of the word “kipper” — (atoned) is 300, which is also the total of the Psalms read twice: 150 + 150 = 300. (Rav Ovadia Yosef, commentary on “Pirkei Avot,” Chapter 4, Mishnah 4)
