Open the dedicated Tikun Haklali page →

Tikun Haklali · תיקון הכללי

All ten Psalms · 164 verses · complete published English translation and frozen pronunciation.

It is good to first set aside charity, even one penny.

Hebrew edition

Original app Hebrew is available below. Medooyuk loads with JavaScript and its marked font.

Sources and pronunciation convention

English translation and transliteration are copied from the published Tikun back matter in Revival of the Soul (Misheevas Nefesh), the user-saved final author edits, corroborated by its pagination-repaired edition. The printed spellings are frozen, not corrected to another convention.

The English accompanies the Psalm and verse identity. It is not a new translation or a pronunciation overlay for Medooyuk. Original app Hebrew, published prayer Hebrew, and the independent Medooyuk edition can differ in pointing, divine-name spelling and qere. Each verse’s disclosure retains the exact published Hebrew underlying its pronunciation.

Medooyuk uses the current approved annotations and renderer with the independent UXLC 2.5 Hebrew text (CC BY); no classifications are borrowed for Original app Hebrew or unannotated prayers. This transports approved marks, not a new claim of universal linguistic completeness. Annotation source notes · MAM qatan supplement, Hebrew Wikisource (CC BY-SA 4.0).

Transliterator's note: The method used here is not the sophisticated conventional way, rather it is extremely simple and straightforward.

  • ch = kh
  • ALL vowels are soft (like: bed, sit, luck, including eh, also at the end of the word) unless they are doubled, like ai, ay, ee, ey, oo, oa, ue, uy
  • iy = eye

Before the Psalms · Binding Declaration

Hereby I bind myself, through the recitation of these ten Psalms, to all the true tzaddikim in our generation, and to all the true tzaddikim who have passed on, the holy ones who rest in the dust, and in particular to our holy Rabbi, the foundation of the world, the flowing stream, the source of wisdom, our Rabbi Na Nach Nachma Nachman of Uman; may his merit protect us and all of Israel, Amen.

The published declaration is provided in English; no new Hebrew wording or special annotations are supplied for it.

Prelude · Psalm 95:1–3

לְכוּ נְרַנְּנָה לַיהוָה נָרִיעָה לְצוּר יִשְׁעֵנוּ׃ נְקַדְּמָה פָנָיו בְּתוֹדָה בְּזִמְרוֹת נָרִיעַ לוֹ׃ כִּי אֵל גָּדוֹל יְהוָה וּמֶלֶךְ גָּדוֹל עַל כָּל אֱלֹהִים׃

Go, let us give praise to Hashem, let us holler to the Rock of our salvation. Let us greet His countenance with thanksgiving, with songs we will holler to Him. For Hashem is a great G-d, and a great King over all gods.

This inherited prayer variant and its English are retained separately from the recovered ten-Psalm back matter; they are not annotated.

לָכֵן שָׂמַח לִבִּי וַיָּגֶל כְּבוֹדִי אַף בְּשָׂרִי יִשְׁכֹּן לָבֶטַח:

So my heart rejoices, my whole being exults, and my body rests secure.

Psalm 16:10

כִּי לֹא תַעֲזֹב נַפְשִׁי לִשְׁאוֹל לֹא תִתֵּן חֲסִידְךָ לִרְאוֹת שָׁחַת:

For You will not abandon me to Sheol, or let Your faithful one see the Pit.

Psalm 16:11

תּוֹדִיעֵנִי אֹרַח חַיִּים שֹׂבַע שְׂמָחוֹת אֶת פָּנֶיךָ נְעִמוֹת בִּימִינְךָ נֶצַח: (פ)

You will teach me the path of life. In Your presence is perfect joy; delights are ever in Your right hand.
