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 111 תְּהִלִּים

ט  פְּדוּת, שָׁלַח לְעַמּוֹ–    צִוָּה-לְעוֹלָם בְּרִיתוֹ;
קָדוֹשׁ וְנוֹרָא    שְׁמוֹ.

9 He hath sent redemption unto His people; He hath commanded His covenant for ever; {N}
Holy and awful is His name.
