TIKKUN RACHEL:
Psalms Chapter 137 תְּהִלִּים
ג כִּי שָׁם שְׁאֵלוּנוּ שׁוֹבֵינוּ, דִּבְרֵי-שִׁיר– וְתוֹלָלֵינוּ שִׂמְחָה:
שִׁירוּ לָנוּ, מִשִּׁיר צִיּוֹן.
3 For there they that led us captive asked of us words of song, and our tormentors asked of us mirth: {N}
‘Sing us one of the songs of Zion.’
Psalms Chapter 79 תְּהִלִּים
ח אַל-תִּזְכָּר-לָנוּ, עֲוֺנֹת רִאשֹׁנִים:
מַהֵר, יְקַדְּמוּנוּ רַחֲמֶיךָ– כִּי דַלּוֹנוּ מְאֹד.
8 Remember not against us the iniquities of our forefathers; {N}
let Thy compassions speedily come to meet us; for we are brought very low.
CONCLUSION OF TIKKUN RACHEL:
Isaiah Chapter 52 יְשַׁעְיָהוּ
ב הִתְנַעֲרִי מֵעָפָר קוּמִי שְּׁבִי, יְרוּשָׁלִָם; התפתחו (הִתְפַּתְּחִי) מוֹסְרֵי צַוָּארֵךְ, שְׁבִיָּה בַּת–צִיּוֹן. {ס}
2 Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem; loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion. {S}
TIKKUN LEAH:
Psalms Chapter 42 תְּהִלִּים
ו מַה-תִּשְׁתּוֹחֲחִי, נַפְשִׁי– וַתֶּהֱמִי עָלָי:
הוֹחִלִי לֵאלֹהִים, כִּי-עוֹד אוֹדֶנּוּ– יְשׁוּעוֹת פָּנָיו.
6 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why moanest thou within me? {N}
Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise Him for the salvation of His countenance.
