TIKKUN RACHEL:

Psalms Chapter 137 תְּהִלִּים

ח  בַּת-בָּבֶל,    הַשְּׁדוּדָה:
אַשְׁרֵי שֶׁיְשַׁלֶּם-לָךְ–    אֶת-גְּמוּלֵךְ, שֶׁגָּמַלְתְּ לָנוּ.

8 O daughter of Babylon, that art to be destroyed; {N}
happy shall he be, that repayeth thee as thou hast served us.

יב  וְהָשֵׁב לִשְׁכֵנֵינוּ שִׁבְעָתַיִם,    אֶל-חֵיקָם;

12 And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, {N}
wherewith they have reproached Thee, O Lord.

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}

3 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: {N}
