TIKKUN RACHEL:

Psalms Chapter 137 תְּהִלִּים

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

7 For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his habitation.

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 42 תְּהִלִּים

ד  הָיְתָה-לִּי דִמְעָתִי לֶחֶם,    יוֹמָם וָלָיְלָה;
בֶּאֱמֹר אֵלַי כָּל-הַיּוֹם,    אַיֵּה אֱלֹהֶיךָ.

4 My tears have been my food day and night, {N}
while they say unto me all the day: ‘Where is thy God?’
