RECITATION BEFORE THE TIKKUN RACHEL AND TIKKUN LEAH:
Psalms Chapter 102 תְּהִלִּים
כ כִּי-הִשְׁקִיף, מִמְּרוֹם קָדְשׁוֹ; יְהוָה, מִשָּׁמַיִם אֶל-אֶרֶץ הִבִּיט.
20 For He hath looked down from the height of His sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth;
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
ו שְׁפֹךְ חֲמָתְךָ– אֶל הַגּוֹיִם, אֲשֶׁר לֹא-יְדָעוּךָ:
וְעַל מַמְלָכוֹת– אֲשֶׁר בְּשִׁמְךָ, לֹא קָרָאוּ.
6 Pour out Thy wrath upon the nations that know Thee not, {N}
and upon the kingdoms that call not upon Thy name.
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}
