לַמְנַצֵּחַ מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד: יַעַנְךָ יהוה בְּיוֹם צָרָה, יְשַׂגֶּבְךָ שֵׁם אֱלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹב:
יִשְׁלַח־עֶזְרְךָ מִקֹּדֶשׁ, וּמִצִּיּוֹן יִסְעָדֶךָּ: יִזְכֹּר כָּל־מִנְחֹתֶיךָ, וְעוֹלָתְךָ יְדַשְּׁנֶה
סֶלָה: יִתֶּן־לְךָ כִלְבָבֶךָ וְכָל־עֲצָתְךָ יְמַלֵּא: נְרַנְּנָה בִּישׁוּעָתֶךָ, וּבְשֵׁם־
אֱלֹהֵינוּ נִדְגֹּל, יְמַלֵּא יהוה כָּל־מִשְׁאֲלוֹתֶיךָ: עַתָּה יָדַעְתִּי כִּי הוֹשִׁיעַ
יהוה מְשִׁיחוֹ, יַעֲנֵהוּ מִשְּׁמֵי קָדְשׁוֹ, בִּגְבֻרוֹת יֵשַׁע יְמִינוֹ: אֵלֶּה בָרֶכֶב
וְאֵלֶּה בַסּוּסִים, וַאֲנַחְנוּ בְּשֵׁם־יהוה אֱלֹהֵינוּ נַזְכִּיר: הֵמָּה כָּרְעוּ וְנָפָלוּ,
וַאֲנַחְנוּ קַמְנוּ וַנִּתְעוֹדָד: יהוה הוֹשִׁיעָה, הַמֶּלֶךְ יַעֲנֵנוּ בְיוֹם־קָרְאֵנוּ:

On Tisha B'Av and in a house of mourning, skip the verse that starts "As for Me" and proceed with "You are the Holy One."

Is. 59

Hebrew

וּבָא לְצִיּוֹן גּוֹאֵל, וּלְשָׁבֵי פֶּשַׁע בְּיַעֲקֹב, נְאֻם יהוה:
וַאֲנִי זֹאת בְּרִיתִי אוֹתָם, אָמַר יהוה
רוּחִי אֲשֶׁר עָלֶיךָ וּדְבָרַי אֲשֶׁר־שַׂמְתִּי בְּפִיךָ
לֹא־יָמוּשׁוּ מִפִּיךָ וּמִפִּי זַרְעֲךָ וּמִפִּי זֶרַע זַרְעֲךָ
אָמַר יהוה, מֵעַתָּה וְעַד־עוֹלָם:

וּמְקַבְּלִין דֵּין מִן דֵּין וְאָמְרִין, קַדִּישׁ בִּשְׁמֵי מְרוֹמָא עִלָּאָה בֵּית שְׁכִינְתֵּהּ

יהוה צְבָאוֹת, מַלְיָא כָּל אַרְעָא זִיו יְקָרֵהּ.

kadish al ara ovad g'vureteh, kadish le-alam ule-almei almaya

Commentary

וְאַתָּה קָדוֹשׁ You are the Holy One: the third and final Kedusha of the morning service, known as Kedusha deSidra. Here, it is incorporated into an act of study. Hence the verses of the Kedusha are followed by their Aramaic translations and expansions (Aramaic was for a long time the language of study).

לַמְנַצֵּחַ Psalm 20: A prayer for protection from harm. As prayer reaches its close, and we prepare to reenter the outside world with its hazards and dangers, we ask God to keep us from harm. Because of the solemnity of its mood, this psalm is omitted on festivals or in a house of mourning, so as not to subtract from the joy of the former, or add to the grief of the latter.

וּבָא לְצִיּוֹן גּוֹאֵל A redeemer will come to Zion: These two verses (from Isaiah), are all that remain of the ancient custom of studying prophetic texts after prayer.
