Where is Your jealousy and where are Your mighty deeds, with which You worked awesome wonders for the descendants [of those] with whom You made a covenant?2This refers to the Patriarchs. We are driven away and cast out from our inheritance;3The land of Israel. Adonoy, [our] God! We are ruled by masters besides You.
The anxiety of Your impoverished ones is exceedingly great; they bear the yoke of Your fear with their heart and soul and possessions. They are bowed down and humbled, exceedingly. Let Your compassion come swiftly toward us for we have been brought very low.
The sparkle in our faces has changed because of those who insult us each day, they gnash their teeth and say: “Behold this is the day.” Reveal the design of Your dominion, O fearful God, for we are slain for Your sake all the day long.
We yearn for the time of redemption and comfort, [meanwhile] we are covered with shame and wrapped with humiliation, oppressed and enslaved under the rule of every nation; and not one of us knows for how long.
King of kings! remember Your mercy of old, save those who guard Your unity from the smoking fire-brands. Cleanse the stains of their sin which are red as scarlet; remember not the sins of our ancestors.
Because of Mount Zion which lies desolate, my face is hidden [with shame] and my heart is appalled. The enemy who laid it waste condemn and let Your radiant countenance shine upon Your desolate Sanctuary.
[Israel] is the possession You acquired of old for the sake of Your glory, have compassion and do not destroy her, for she is the cause of Your praise; for thus have we been promised by [Moses] the faithful one of Your House, “For a merciful Almighty is Adonoy, your God; He will not weaken you and He will not destroy you.”
Remember the likeness of the perfect one4Jacob. which is etched on Your throne;5According to tradition, Jacob’s likeness is etched on the Heavenly Throne. Illustrious One! From the stream of Your delights give his children to drink; bestow upon them deliverance, acquit them from iniquity, for You are He Who forgives iniquity, and remits transgression and acquits.
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.

Adonoy, Adonoy, Almighty, Merciful, Gracious, Slow to Anger, and Abundant in Kindness, and Truth.
