HESED: 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

א  עַל נַהֲרוֹת, בָּבֶל–שָׁם יָשַׁבְנוּ, גַּם-בָּכִינוּ:    בְּזָכְרֵנוּ, אֶת-צִיּוֹן.

1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.

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 67 תְּהִלִּים

ג  לָדַעַת בָּאָרֶץ דַּרְכֶּךָ;    בְּכָל-גּוֹיִם, יְשׁוּעָתֶךָ.

3 That Thy way may be known upon earth, Thy salvation among all nations.
