TIKKUN RACHEL:
Psalms Chapter 137 תְּהִלִּים
ח בַּת-בָּבֶל, הַשְּׁדוּדָה:
אַשְׁרֵי שֶׁיְשַׁלֶּם-לָךְ– אֶת-גְּמוּלֵךְ, שֶׁגָּמַלְתְּ לָנוּ.

יג וַאֲנַחְנוּ עַמְּךָ, וְצֹאן מַרְעִיתֶךָ– נוֹדֶה לְּךָ, לְעוֹלָם:
לְדוֹר וָדֹר– נְסַפֵּר, תְּהִלָּתֶךָ.

we will tell of Thy praise to all generations. {P}
CONCLUSION OF TIKKUN RACHEL:
Isaiah Chapter 52 יְשַׁעְיָהוּ
ב הִתְנַעֲרִי מֵעָפָר קוּמִי שְּׁבִי, יְרוּשָׁלִָם; התפתחו (הִתְפַּתְּחִי) מוֹסְרֵי צַוָּארֵךְ, שְׁבִיָּה בַּת–צִיּוֹן. {ס}

בְּאָמְרָם אֵלַי כָּל-הַיּוֹם, אַיֵּה אֱלֹהֶיךָ.
11 As with a crushing in my bones, mine adversaries taunt me; {N}
while they say unto me all the day: ‘Where is thy God?’
