BINAH: TIKKUN CHATZOT תקון חצות – TIKKUN RACHEL & TIKKUN LEAH. 🟪

RECITATION BEFORE THE TIKKUN RACHEL AND TIKKUN LEAH:

Psalms Chapter 102 תְּהִלִּים

ט  כָּל-הַיּוֹם, חֵרְפוּנִי אוֹיְבָי;    מְהוֹלָלַי, בִּי נִשְׁבָּעוּ.

9 Mine enemies taunt me all the day; they that are mad against me do curse by me.

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

יא  תָּבוֹא לְפָנֶיךָ, אֶנְקַת אָסִיר:    כְּגֹדֶל זְרוֹעֲךָ–הוֹתֵר, בְּנֵי תְמוּתָה.

11 Let the groaning of the prisoner come before Thee; according to the greatness of Thy power set free those that are appointed to death;

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

יח  כִּי, לֹא-תַחְפֹּץ זֶבַח וְאֶתֵּנָה;    עוֹלָה, לֹא תִרְצֶה.

18 For Thou delightest not in sacrifice, else would I give it; Thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering.
