YESOD: TIKKUN CHATZOT תקון חצות – TIKKUN RACHEL & TIKKUN LEAH.

RECITATION BEFORE THE TIKKUN RACHEL AND TIKKUN LEAH:

Psalms Chapter 102 תְּהִלִּים

כב  לְסַפֵּר בְּצִיּוֹן, שֵׁם יְהוָה;    וּתְהִלָּתוֹ, בִּירוּשָׁלִָם.

22 That men may tell of the name of the LORD in Zion, and His praise in Jerusalem;

TIKKUN RACHEL:

Psalms Chapter 137 תְּהִלִּים

ה  אִם-אֶשְׁכָּחֵךְ יְרוּשָׁלִָם–    תִּשְׁכַּח יְמִינִי.

5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.

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 111 תְּהִלִּים

י  רֵאשִׁית חָכְמָה, יִרְאַת יְהוָה–    שֵׂכֶל טוֹב, לְכָל-עֹשֵׂיהֶם;
תְּהִלָּתוֹ,    עֹמֶדֶת לָעַד.

10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do thereafter; {N}
His praise endureth for ever. {P}
