RECITATION BEFORE THE TIKKUN RACHEL AND TIKKUN LEAH:

Psalms Chapter 102 תְּהִלִּים

ו  מִקּוֹל אַנְחָתִי–    דָּבְקָה עַצְמִי, לִבְשָׂרִי.

6 By reason of the voice of my sighing my bones cleave to my flesh.

TIKKUN RACHEL:

Psalms Chapter 137 תְּהִלִּים

ט  אַשְׁרֵי, שֶׁיֹּאחֵז וְנִפֵּץ אֶת-עֹלָלַיִךְ–    אֶל-הַסָּלַע.

9 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the rock. {P}

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 51 תְּהִלִּים

טו  אֲלַמְּדָה פֹשְׁעִים דְּרָכֶיךָ;    וְחַטָּאִים, אֵלֶיךָ יָשׁוּבוּ.

15 Then will I teach transgressors Thy ways; and sinners shall return unto Thee.
