no. The only time this happends is in Kiahk Praises nights, more specificly sunday nights on the 6th interpretation where it says "You are Aaron's censor..."
The source would be the Kiahk Psalmody but i wouldn't have one on me right now so i'll post the refrence latter. the three Short Litanies: Peace, Fathers and Place. These are like the 3 Long lities but a shorter version.
your source, any full liturgy book.
Personally, I was taught slightly differently in which psalms to recite on the way to church (and when putting on/taking off the tonya), but I don't have a specific source to cite for that.
