Minha for Weekdays

Some communities recite Song of Songs (page 354) and Psalm 107 (page 364) before Minha on Friday afternoon.
Some have the custom to recite before Minha the Daily Sacrifice (page 46) or the Korbanot/Offerings (pages 44-50), omitting the Taking of the Ashes and the Order of the Priestly Functions.

תְּהִלָּה לְדָוִד
אֲרוֹמִמְךָ אֱלוֹהַי הַמֶּלֶךְ, וַאֲבָרְכָה שִׁמְךָ לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד:
בְּכָל־יוֹם אֲבָרְכֶךָּ, וַאֲהַלְלָה שִׁמְךָ לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד:
גָּדוֹל יְהוָה וּמְהֻלָּל מְאֹד, וְלִגְדֻלָּתוֹ אֵין חֵקֶר:
דּוֹר לְדוֹר יְשַׁבַּח מַעֲשֶׂיךָ, וּגְבוּרֹתֶיךָ יַגִּידוּ:
הֲדַר כְּבוֹד הוֹדֶךָ, וְדִבְרֵי נִפְלְאֹתֶיךָ אָשִׂיחָה:
וֶעֱזוּז נוֹרְאֹתֶיךָ יֹאמֵרוּ, וּגְדֻלָּתְךָ אֲסַפְּרֶנָּה:
זֵכֶר רַב־טוּבְךָ יַבִּיעוּ, וְצִדְקָתְךָ יְרַנֵּנוּ:
חַנּוּן וְרַחוּם יְהוָה, אֶרֶךְ אַפַּיִם וּגְדָל־חָסֶד:
טוֹב־יְהוָה לַכֹּל, וְרַחֲמָיו עַל־כָּל־מַעֲשָׂיו:
יוֹדוּךָ יְהוָה כָּל־מַעֲשֶׂיךָ, וַחֲסִידֶיךָ יְבָרֲכוּכָה:
כְּבוֹד מַלְכוּתְךָ יֹאמֵרוּ, וּגְבוּרָתְךָ יְדַבֵּרוּ:

A song of praise by David. א I will exalt You, my God, the King, and bless Your name for ever and all time. ב Every day I will bless You, and praise Your name for ever and all time. ג Great is the LORD and greatly to be praised; His greatness is unfathomable. ד One generation will praise Your works to the next, and tell of Your mighty deeds. ה On the glorious splendor of Your majesty I will meditate, and on the acts of Your wonders. ו They shall talk of the power of Your awesome deeds, and I will tell of Your greatness. ז They shall recite the record of Your great goodness, and sing with joy of Your righteousness. ח The LORD is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and great in loving-kindness. ט The LORD is good to all, and His compassion extends to all His works. י All Your works shall thank You, LORD, and Your devoted ones shall bless You. כ They shall talk of the glory of Your kingship,
