Yet as a drop from the sea will I make mention of some, And make confession of them; Perhaps I shall silence the roar of their waves and their crashing,
I have committed iniquity, And I have wrought evil, I have been presumptuous, I have done violence, I have plastered over falsehood, I have counselled evil,
I have transgressed and turned away from Thy commandments. But Thou art just in all that is come upon me For Thou hast dealt truly and I have dealt wickedly.
אֱלֹהַי יָדַעְתִּי כִּי עֲוֹנוֹתַי עָצְמוּ מִסַּפֵּר. וְאַשְׁמוֹתַי עָצְמוּ מִלִּזְכֹּר:
O my God, I know that my sins are too great to tell, And my trespasses too many to remember,
אַךְ אֶזְכֹּר מֵהֶם כְּטִפָּה מִן הַיָּם. וְאֶתְוַדֶּה בָּהֶם אוּלַי אַשְׁבִּיחַ שְׁאוֹן גַּלֵּיהֶם וְדָכְיָם:
Yet as a drop from the sea will I make mention of some, And make confession of them; Perhaps I shall silence the roar of their waves and their crashing,
וְאַתָּה תִּשְׁמַע הַשָּׁמַיִם וְסָלַחְתָּ:
"And Thou wilt hear from heaven and forgive."
אָשַׁמְתִּי בְּתוֹרָתֶךָ. בָּזִיתִי בְּמִצְוֹתֶיךָ.
I have trespassed against Thy law, I have despised Thy commandments,
גָּעַלְתִּי בְּלִבִּי וּבְמוֹ פִי. דִּבַּרְתִּי דֹּפִי.
I have abhorred them in my heart, And with my mouth spoken slander.
הֶעֱוִיתִי. וְהִרְשַׁעְתִּי. זַדְתִּי. חָמַסְתִּי. טָפַלְתִּי שֶׁקֶר. יָעַצְתִּי רַע לְאֵין חֵקֶר.
I have committed iniquity, And I have wrought evil, I have been presumptuous, I have done violence, I have plastered over falsehood, I have counselled evil,
כִּזַּבְתִּי. לַצְתִּי. מָרַדְתִּי. נִאַצְתִּי. סָרַרְתִּי. עָוִיתִי. פָּשַׁעְתִּי וְעֹרֶף הִקְשֵׁיתִי.
I have lied, I have scoffed, I have revolted, I have blasphemed, I have been rebellious and perverse and sinful, I have stiffened my neck,
קַצְתִּי בְּתוֹכְחוֹתֶיךָ. רָשַׁעְתִּי.
I have loathed Thy rebukes and done wickedly,
שִׁחַתִּי דְּרָכַי. תָּעִיתִי מִמַּהֲלָכַי.
I have corrupted my ways, I have strayed from my paths,
עָבַרְתִּי מִמִּצְוֹתֶיךָ וְסַרְתִּי. וְאַתָּה צַדִּיק עַל כָּל הַבָּא עָלַי כִּי אֱמֶת עָשִׂיתָ וַאֲנִי הִרְשָׁעְתִּי:
I have transgressed and turned away from Thy commandments. But Thou art just in all that is come upon me For Thou hast dealt truly and I have dealt wickedly.
