Question

If you are standing for the Amidah and someone is praying behind you, is it permissible to recite Tehillim after "Yihyu L'ratzon" until the person behind steps back? And is it possible to step back and sit down to recite Tehillim?

Answer

Shalom and blessings

1. It is permissible to recite Tehillim in the meantime.

2. If he is directly behind you, you cannot step back. If he is slightly to the side, you may step back for the sake of a mitzvah.
