RECITATION BEFORE THE TIKKUN RACHEL AND TIKKUN LEAH:

Psalms Chapter 102 תְּהִלִּים

זח  שָׁקַדְתִּי וָאֶהְיֶה–    כְּצִפּוֹר, בּוֹדֵד עַל-גָּג..

8 I watch, and am become like a sparrow that is alone upon the housetop.

TIKKUN RACHEL:

Psalms Chapter 137 תְּהִלִּים

ב  עַל-עֲרָבִים בְּתוֹכָהּ–    תָּלִינוּ, כִּנֹּרוֹתֵינוּ.

2 Upon the willows in the midst thereof we hanged up our harps.

Psalms Chapter 79 תְּהִלִּים

י  לָמָּה, יֹאמְרוּ הַגּוֹיִם–    אַיֵּה אֱלֹהֵיהֶם:
יִוָּדַע בַּגֹּיִים לְעֵינֵינוּ;    נִקְמַת, דַּם-עֲבָדֶיךָ הַשָּׁפוּךְ.

10 Wherefore should the nations say: ‘Where is their God?’ {N}
Let the avenging of Thy servants’ blood that is shed be made known among the nations in our sight.

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

יז  אֲדֹנָי, שְׂפָתַי תִּפְתָּח;    וּפִי, יַגִּיד תְּהִלָּתֶךָ.

17 O Lord, open Thou my lips; and my mouth shall declare Thy praise.
