Hear our voice, Adonoy, our God; spare us and have compassion on us, and accept our prayers mercifully and willingly. Lead us back to You, Adonoy and we shall find the way back; renew our days as of old. Cast us not away from Your Presence, and Your holy spirit take not from us. Do not cast us off in time of old age, when our strength fails, do not forsake us.
Forsake us not, Adonoy, our God be not far removed from us. Give us a sign of Your goodness that our enemies may see it and be ashamed; for You, Adonoy, have helped me and comforted me. Give ear to our words, Adonoy! Consider our meditations. May there be gracious acceptance for the words of our mouth, and the meditation of our heart, before You, Adonoy, our Rock, and our Redeemer. For to You Adonoy, we hope You will answer us Adonoy, our God. Our God and God of our fathers, let our prayer come before you and do not ignore our supplication. For we are not so brazen-faced and stiff-necked to say to you, Adonoy, our God, and God of our fathers, “We are righteous and have not sinned.” But, indeed, we and our fathers have sinned.
We have trespassed [against God and man, and we are devastated by our guilt]; We have betrayed [God and man, we have been ungrateful for the good done to us]; We have stolen; We have slandered; We have caused others to sin; We have caused others to commit sins for which they are called רֽשָׁעִים, wicked; We have sinned with malicious intent; We have forcibly taken other’s possessions We have added falsehood upon falsehood; We have joined with evil individuals or groups. We have given harmful advice; We have deceived; We have mocked; We have rebelled against God and His Torah; We have caused God to be angry with us; We have turned away from God’s Torah; We have sinned deliberately; We have been negligent in our performance of the commandments; We have caused our friends grief; We have been stiff-necked, refusing to admit that the cause of our suffering is our own sins. We have committed sins for which we are called רָשָׁע, [raising a hand to hit someone]. We have committed sins which are the result of moral corruption; We have committed sins which the Torah refers to as abominations; We have gone astray; We have led others astray.
We have turned away from Your commandments and from Your good laws, and we have gained nothing from it. And You are the Righteous One in all [punishment] that has come upon us; for You have acted truthfully and we have acted wickedly.
We have acted wickedly and have transgressed; we have therefore not been delivered. Grant that our hearts [be inspired to] abandon the path of wickedness, and hasten our deliverance; as is written by the hand of Your prophet, “Let the wicked man abandon his ways, and the man of iniquity his thoughts; and let him return unto Adonoy, and He will have compassion on him, and unto our God for He pardons abundantly.”
Your righteous annointed [King David] declared before You, Errors—who can comprehend? From hidden [faults], cleanse me.” Cleanse us, Adonoy, our God, from all our transgressions, and purify us from all our defilement. Sprinkle clean waters on us and cleanse us, as it is written by the hand of Your prophet, “And I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and you will be clean; from all your defilements, and from all your idols, I will cleanse You.”
Your people and Your inheritance hunger for Your goodness, thirst for Your kindness, long for Your deliverance. Let them realize and know that unto Adonoy, our God, belongs compassion and pardon.
Exalted and sanctified be His great Name in the world which He created according to His will and may He rule His kingdom in your lifetime and in your days, and in the lifetime of the entire House of Israel, speedily and in the near future— and say Amen.
May His great Name be blessed forever and for all eternity. Blessed and praised, glorified, and exalted and uplifted, honored and elevated and extolled be the Name of the Holy One, blessed is He; above all the blessings and hymns, praises and consolations which we utter in the world—and say Amen.
