God, You are known to be great in Israel, You Adonoy, are our Father; whenever we call unto You, You are near to us, You are exalted and uplifted in our midst.
You have granted us good favors despite our liabilities [sins], not because of our righteousness and the uprightness of our hearts; You are our loved One even though we have forsaken You. Redeem us, for we are slaves.
Because of our iniquity, we have been brought to the crushing point, shrunken are the souls of those who yearn for You, and where is Your earlier kindness with us? For ever and ever, they are everlasting.
We carry the burden of Your wrath, and it has weakened our might, Adonoy, do not rebuke us with Your anger, terrifying panic has consumed our flesh; please, do not chastise us with Your rage.
Our suffering from distress is indescribable, who can weigh them and who can count them? We know our wickedness, that we have sinned, for You have acted truthfully and we have acted wickedly.
May [Your] anger and wrath cease from us, for [the nation of] Jacob is small and frail, let us be relieved from oppression, and let the yoke of tyranny be crushed, for our strength to endure is weakened.
Do not use the measure [of our evil ways as a yardstick] to exact punishment from us, for we remain but a few from many; rescind the evil intended for Your people, for tipping the scale towards kindness is Your attribute.
Forgive us even if our sins testify against us, help us; for on You, we depend; bend our necks to serve You, with love and reverence may we serve and honor You.
Those who remember You have prepared and set aside days of fasting, their perception has become so shrunken— they are unable to ask for their needs; may the outpourings of their prayers come before You, bind up each one’s wounds and pains.
The voice of Jacob cries out from the depths of Your exile, may it be heard in the heavens, the place of Your habitation; destroy with Your anger, their pursuers. The year of punishment for those who strive against Zion, reveal [to us soon].
You saw and came down— You acquired us in our youth, do not cast us off in our old age; we have gone astray leftward [the way of sin] let Your right hand bring us near, when our strength fails, do not forsake us.
Look down and gaze [at our trouble] and look after Your loved ones, be girded with Your graciousness and be garbed with Your righteousness, be covered with Your compassion, and be enwrapped with Your kindliness, and let there appear before You the attributes of Your goodness and humility.
Almighty! King! Who sits on the throne of mercy, governs with kindness forgives the iniquities of His people. He removes their sins one by one, increasing forgiveness to sinners, and pardon to transgressors. Acting righteously with all who are of flesh and spirit; not according to their wickedness does He repay them. Almighty! You instructed us to recite the thirteen Divine attributes; remember unto us this day the covenant of thirteen Divine attributes, as You made them known to the humble Moses of old, as it is written, “And Adonoy descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the Name, Adonoy.

And Adonoy passed before him [Moses]; and proclaimed:
Adonoy, Adonoy, Almighty, Merciful, Gracious, Slow to Anger, and Abundant in Kindness, and Truth. Keeper of kindness for thousands of generations, Endurer of iniquity, and transgression, and sin; and Acquitter of those who repent.” “And pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for Your inheritance.”
Pardon us our Father, for we have sinned, forgive us our King, for we have transgressed. “For You, my Master, are good and forgiving, and abounding in kindness to all who call upon You.”

אֱלֹהִים בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל גָּדוֹל נוֹדָעְתָּ. אַתָּה יְהֹוָה אָבִינוּ אָתָּה: בְּכָל קָרְאֵנוּ אֵלֶיךָ קָרְבֵנוּ. רָם וְנִשָּׂא אַתָּה בְּקִרְבֵּנוּ:
God, You are known to be great in Israel, You Adonoy, are our Father; whenever we call unto You, You are near to us, You are exalted and uplifted in our midst.
גְּמַלְתָּנוּ הַטּוֹבוֹת בְּחוֹבֵנוּ. לֹא בְצִדְקוֹתֵינוּ וּבְיֹשֶׁר לְבָבֵנוּ: דּוֹדֵנוּ גַּם כִּי זָנַחְנוּ. גְּאָלֵנוּ כִּי עֲבָדִים אֲנָחְנוּ:
You have granted us good favors despite our liabilities [sins], not because of our righteousness and the uprightness of our hearts; You are our loved One even though we have forsaken You. Redeem us, for we are slaves.
הִנְנוּ בַּעֲווֹנֵנוּ עַד דַּכָּא. וַתִּקְּצַר נֶפֶשׁ לְךָ מְחַכָּה: וְאַיֵּה חֲסָדֶךָ הָרִאשׁוֹנִים עִמָּנוּ. מֵעוֹלָם וְעַד עוֹלָם נֶאֱמָנוּ:
Because of our iniquity, we have been brought to the crushing point, shrunken are the souls of those who yearn for You, and where is Your earlier kindness with us? For ever and ever, they are everlasting.
זַעַף נִשָּׂא וַתַּשׁ כֹּחֵנוּ. יְהֹוָה אַל בְּאַפְּךָ תוֹכִיחֵנוּ: חַלְחָלוֹת רַבּוֹת בִּלּוּ בְשָׂרֵנוּ. נָא אַל בַּחֲמָתְךָ תְיַסְּרֵנוּ:
We carry the burden of Your wrath, and it has weakened our might, Adonoy, do not rebuke us with Your anger, terrifying panic has consumed our flesh; please, do not chastise us with Your rage.
טֹרַח הַצָּרוֹת אֵין לְהִסָּפֵר. אַיֵּה שׁוֹקֵל וְאַיֵּה סוֹפֵר: יָדַעְנוּ רִשְׁעֵנוּ כִּי פָשָׁעְנוּ. כִּי אֱמֶת עָשִׂיתָ וַאֲנַחְנוּ הִרְשָׁעְנוּ:
Our suffering from distress is indescribable, who can weigh them and who can count them? We know our wickedness, that we have sinned, for You have acted truthfully and we have acted wickedly.
כַּעַס וְחָרוֹן מֶנּוּ יֶחְדָּל. כִּי קָטוֹן יַעֲקֹב וָדָל: לַחַץ יוּסַר וְעֹל מֶנּוּ יְחֻבָּל. כִּי כָשַׁל כֹּחַ הַסַּבָּל:
May [Your] anger and wrath cease from us, for [the nation of] Jacob is small and frail, let us be relieved from oppression, and let the yoke of tyranny be crushed, for our strength to endure is weakened.
מְנָת מִדָּתֵנוּ לֹא תִגְבֶּה. כִּי נִשְׁאַרְנוּ מְעַט מֵהַרְבֶּה: נַחֵם עַל הָרָעָה לְאֻמָּתֶךָ. מַטֶּה כְּלַפֵּי חֶסֶד אֻמָּנוּתֶךָ:
Do not use the measure [of our evil ways as a yardstick] to exact punishment from us, for we remain but a few from many; rescind the evil intended for Your people, for tipping the scale towards kindness is Your attribute.
סְלָחָה אִם־עֲווֹנֵינוּ עָנוּ בָנוּ. עָזְרֵנוּ כִּי עָלֶיךָ נִשְׁעָנְנוּ: עָרְפֵּנוּ כֹף לְךָ לְהִשְׁתַּעְבֵּד. בְּאַהֲבָה וּבְיִרְאָה אוֹתְךָ לַעֲבֹד וּלְכַבֵּד:
Forgive us even if our sins testify against us, help us; for on You, we depend; bend our necks to serve You, with love and reverence may we serve and honor You.
פּוֹקְדֶיךָ קִדְּשׁוּ צוֹמוֹת לִקְבֹּעַ. דַּעְתָּם קְצָרָה צָרְכָם לִתְבֹּעַ: צְקוֹן לַחֲשָׁם אֵלֶיךָ תָּבוֹא. חַתֵּל לְאִישׁ אִישׁ נִגְעוֹ וּמַכְאוֹבוֹ:
Those who remember You have prepared and set aside days of fasting, their perception has become so shrunken— they are unable to ask for their needs; may the outpourings of their prayers come before You, bind up each one’s wounds and pains.
קוֹל יַעֲקֹב נוֹהֵם מִתְּהוֹמוֹתֶיךָ. תִּשְׁמַע הַשָּׁמַיִם מְכוֹן שִׁבְתֶּךָ: רוֹדֶה רוֹדֵף בְּאַף תְּכַלֶּה. שְׁנַת שִׁלּוּמִים לְרִיב צִיּוֹן תְּגַלֶּה:
The voice of Jacob cries out from the depths of Your exile, may it be heard in the heavens, the place of Your habitation; destroy with Your anger, their pursuers. The year of punishment for those who strive against Zion, reveal [to us soon].
שַׁרְתָּ וְרַדְתָּ מִנֹּעַר קְנוֹתֵנוּ. וְאַל תַּשְׁלִיכֵנוּ לְעֵת זִקְנָתֵנוּ: תָּעִינוּ לִשְׂמֹאל וִימִינְךָ תְּקָרְבֵנוּ. כִּכְלוֹת כֹּחֵנוּ אַל תַּעַזְבֵנוּ:
You saw and came down— You acquired us in our youth, do not cast us off in our old age; we have gone astray leftward [the way of sin] let Your right hand bring us near, when our strength fails, do not forsake us.
תַּבִּיט וְתָצִיץ וְתַשְׁגִּיחַ לִרְחוּמֶיךָ. תִּתְאַזָּר בַּחֲנִינוֹתֶךָ תִּתְלַבֵּשׁ בְּצִדְקוֹתֶיךָ. תִּתְכַּסֶּה בְּרַחֲמֶיךָ וְתִתְעַטֵּף בַּחֲסִידוּתֶךָ. וְתָבֹא לְפָנֶיךָ מִדַּת־טוּבְךָ וְעַנְוְתָנוּתֶךָ:
Look down and gaze [at our trouble] and look after Your loved ones, be girded with Your graciousness and be garbed with Your righteousness, be covered with Your compassion, and be enwrapped with Your kindliness, and let there appear before You the attributes of Your goodness and humility.
