The Maran in O Ch 111 (2) says that the Sheliach Tzibbur must repeat "Hashem Sefatai etc.," aloud in his repetition of the Amidah. MB[10] says it should be said quietly. Both agree that it has to be said.

The Israel Koschitzky Virtual Beit Midrash says

"Hashem Sefatai," despite being outside the textual framework of the berakhot, is not merely an introduction to prayer, but an integral part of prayer itself. The Shemona Esrei BEGINS with "Hashem sefatai."

It seems therefore that whenever we say Shemona Esrei we should begin with "Hashem sefatai etc.," This would include tashlumim.

  • +1, I guess, but I strongly suspect someone speaks directly about the pasuk in tashlumin. In fact, I have a vague recollection that Kitzur Shulchan Aruch does.
