RECITATION BEFORE THE TIKKUN RACHEL AND TIKKUN LEAH:
Psalms Chapter 102 תְּהִלִּים
כו לְפָנִים, הָאָרֶץ יָסַדְתָּ; וּמַעֲשֵׂה יָדֶיךָ שָׁמָיִם.
26 Of old Thou didst lay the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the work of Thy hands.
TIKKUN RACHEL:
Psalms Chapter 137 תְּהִלִּים
ב עַל-עֲרָבִים בְּתוֹכָהּ– תָּלִינוּ, כִּנֹּרוֹתֵינוּ.
2 Upon the willows in the midst thereof we hanged up our harps.
Psalms Chapter 79 תְּהִלִּים
ב נָתְנוּ, אֶת-נִבְלַת עֲבָדֶיךָ– מַאֲכָל, לְעוֹף הַשָּׁמָיִם;
בְּשַׂר חֲסִידֶיךָ, לְחַיְתוֹ-אָרֶץ.
2 They have given the dead bodies of Thy servants to be food unto the fowls of the heaven, {N}
the flesh of Thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.
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
ו מַה-תִּשְׁתּוֹחֲחִי, נַפְשִׁי– וַתֶּהֱמִי עָלָי:
הוֹחִלִי לֵאלֹהִים, כִּי-עוֹד אוֹדֶנּוּ– יְשׁוּעוֹת פָּנָיו.
6 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why moanest thou within me? {N}
Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise Him for the salvation of His countenance.
