Quotation for Berakhot 18:30
הני ק"ג ק"ד הויין אלא שמע מינה אשרי האיש ולמה רגשו גוים חדא פרשה היא
How so one hundred and three Psalms — there are one hundred and four! But infer from this that "Happy is the man" and "Why are the nations in an uproar" are one Psalm.
Shulchan Arukh, Orach Chayim
From when does one bless on the ציצית [that he puts on] in the morning? From the time when [there's enough light that] one can tell the difference between the techeilet (blue) in it and the white in it. And if he puts it on starting at dawn, some say he makes a blessing, and this is our practice (Mordechi - chapter 2 of Tractate Megillah). And if he put it on earlier than that, such as during [the time of year when we recite] selichot, he should not make a blessing over it [right away], and [then] when it becomes light he should touch [the ציצית] and makes the blessing (Tashbe"tz).
