Inscribe us for long life and let us not be uprooted. As You sit upon Your throne examining all actions in Your judgment, view only the good and do not examine the evil; for with You is the source of life.1You dispense life.
You dispense life when You are willing while Your period of anger is fleeting. Do not punish until eternity your weary inheritance (Israel). Let me hear the clarion, “I forgive!” as You forgive my sins, and [also let me hear] “I’ve granted you today the gift of life!”
Grant us life and redeem us from ruin. Wrap me with the kindness of Abraham2Abraham, the patriarch, is sometimes referred to as “Ezrach,” e.g. Ayson Haezrachi. and with the truth that was rooted in Jacob, he planted it and it flourished [in Israel]. Distance our sins from us as west is distant from east. Make known to us the truth path of life.
Make known to us Your living Word3The Torah gives life to those who uphold it. Almighty, powerful and [wise] Counselor— [motivate us] to cling to Your Torah; His advice is for our own benefit. Make the good inclination triumph over the evil inclination and shatter it in order that we preserve the way of the Tree of Life.4The Torah.
The Torah sustains those who hold it. It is a cure and antidote for sickness. The supporters of Torah are also fortunate to bask in the expanding radiance of Torah. Those who cling to the way of Torah, have an added quality to their lives over all other living flesh.
Support us with life and peace that we may serve You in reverence. We shall be glad and rejoice in You when the wicked are destroyed. May the three hundred ten worlds5Which are reserved for the righteous. be our portion and grant us the reverence of God [which leads] to wealth, honor, and life.
He granted us a fortunate portion in life, He Who provides advice and thoughts, He Who is a refuge to us, and a helper during times of travail. “Return to me and I shall return to you,” He says as He opens His mouth, “Because he who finds Me, discovers life.”
Grant me the gift of undeserved life, Almighty, Who knows our thoughts. Forgive the iniquities that are engraved upon tablets, and Your enemies will be cloaked in shame as You punish them in rebuke. They will not repent or comprehend the [true] paths of life.
Bestow good life to Your servants. Redeem their souls from Gehenom just as You granted King David his request.6See Psalms 21, 5. Not so, for the wicked who rejected You, send the angel of death unto them in order that they descend to their graves.
Those of us who are alive can thank You, but not those who are severed from life. A father informs his children of Your praises in his conversation. And we bless You, God, Your praise we extoll, that we may merit to see God’s goodness upon us in the land of life.
Let us hear today: “That you all will live” with the proper allotment of sustenance. Purify them from their sins and don’t turn them away empty-handed. Those decreed for death are in Your hands Adonoy, sustain them for life, and even those destined for death because of old age, grant them a portion amongst the living.
Life is an attribute for the discerning person because through the life of Torah he can distant himself from Gehinom. Therefore, please God, redeem my soul from a broken body and let it live forever and for long life; For the mitzvah is a lamp and the Torah is light and the way to achieve life.
Erase from the book of life Gival and Moav who are now exalted though they bow down to a block of wood and proclaim it to be a god. Do not grant kindness to the wicked who afflict us; let them be sentenced for destruction because they disgrace Israel who are the legions of the eternal God.
You swore to give life to Your only son (Isaac), the gates of his enemies was to be the inheritance of his descendants through You they would fall in his hands. Despite Your anger, You will again grant us mercy and, therefore, I thank You, for Your kindness is greater than life.
[Instruct us in the path of true life] in order that we be satiated with joy when we see Your wondrous face.7A reference to the Divine Presence, (Shechinah). Renew our days like in times of old and people will see our graciousness. Return and have mercy upon us, Adonoy, God of Hosts because from You emanates life.
Let life on earth be decreed for Your people from the heavens and cast into the depths of the sea all of our sins and iniquities. Create for us a pure heart and grant us the kindnesses of many days and years of life.
Grant life to the righteous one and to the wicked dispense fear. When on Rosh Hashana You decree wars, or peace or fears and trembling, a year of plenty or famine, terror, life, or death, a year of blessing or curse, choose for us the portion of life.
A life of righteousness and dignity grant her8Israel. who is beautiful and amenable, who does kindness with others, privately, without causing the recipient shame. Adonoy make the righteous one secure and fulfill his needs. He who pursues righteousness and kindness will himself find life.
Grant us the inheritance of eternal life (Torah) given with Divine wisdom and advice. Let gladness and rejoicing be heard from the streets of Jerusalem; and remove iniquity from us and garb us with fresh clothing (Torah). I will then go before God in the lands of life.8Israel.
See fit, God, to grant life to Your people who are Your treasure, let them return to serve you as previously.9In the days of the Holy Temple. You do not desire the death of the sinner but rather that he repent. A broken and pained heart is considered precious before You. Therefore say to them that they are holy include them among those inscribed for life.
When [David] requested life from You, You granted it to him.10When Moshiach Ben David sees that Moshiach Ben Yosef is killed he will ask God for life, and God will grant him that request because of King David’s prayer. See Succah 52. Grant him life now as You did then. His glory will be great in Your salvation [just as the glory of Israel was great] as they ascended to Jerusalem at festivals. Look from the dwelling place of Your holiness from the heavens [to save us]. On that day spring water will flow from Jerusalem.
You desire to grant life and to forgive their sins. Let it be heard: “And My spirit, I will place among you” saying that I found atonement [for you]. I wish to accept you because you truly cling to Adonoy, Your God, Who lives eternally.
Almighty, with life support Your dove (Israel) who follows You to cling to Your laws. Bring us to Mount Zion and restore the kingship because from there Adonoy commands (and sends forth) the blessing of life.
We await life from Him and hope for His deliverance. At this time Adonoy will expand our territory enabling us to increase and multiply. From the destruction of the two temples He will resurrect us and build the third Temple, and all those who are before You today shall remain amongst the living.
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.

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.”
Do not enter into judgment with us, for no living being will be justified before You. And now our Master, the King, the eyes of all Israel are on You.

You are our King, God, command the deliverance of Jacob. And it will be on that day, that Adonoy will be King over the whole earth, on that day Adonoy will be One and His Name One.
As a father has compassion on his children so do You have compassion on us, Adonoy. Deliverance is Adonoy’s; upon Your people is Your blessing. Selah! Adonoy of Hosts is with us, a stronghold for us is the God of Jacob. Selah! Adonoy of Hosts! fortunate is the man who trusts in You. Adonoy, deliver us; the King will answer us on the day we call.
“Please pardon the sins of this nation in accordance with the greatness of Your lovingkindness; and as You forgave this people from when it left Egypt until now.” And there it is said:
35
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהֹוָה סָלַֽחְתִּי כִּדְבָרֶֽךָ:
“And Adonoy said, I have pardoned [them] as you have asked.”
Incline Your ear, my God, and hear, open Your eyes and behold our desolate places, and the city which is called by Your Name; for it is not on account of our righteousness that we let fall our supplication before You, but because of Your great mercy. My Master, hear! My Master, pardon! My Master, listen and take action, do not delay! For Your sake, my God, because Your Name is proclaimed over Your city and over Your people.

כְּרַחֵם אָב עַל בָּנִים כֵּן תְּרַחֵם יְהֹוָה עָלֵֽינוּ: לַיהֹוָה הַיְשׁוּעָה, עַל עַמְּךָ בִרְכָתֶֽךָ סֶּֽלָה: יְהֹוָה צְבָאוֹת עִמָּֽנוּ מִשְׂגָּב לָֽנוּ, אֱלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹב סֶֽלָה: יְהֹוָה צְבָאוֹת, אַשְׁרֵי אָדָם בֹּֽטֵֽחַ בָּךְ: יְהֹוָה הוֹשִֽׁיעָה, הַמֶּֽלֶךְ יַעֲנֵֽנוּ בְיוֹם קָרְאֵנוּ:
As a father has compassion on his children so do You have compassion on us, Adonoy. Deliverance is Adonoy’s; upon Your people is Your blessing. Selah! Adonoy of Hosts is with us, a stronghold for us is the God of Jacob. Selah! Adonoy of Hosts! fortunate is the man who trusts in You. Adonoy, deliver us; the King will answer us on the day we call.
סְלַח נָא לַעֲוֹן הָעָם הַזֶּה, כְּגֹֽדֶל חַסְדֶּֽךָ. וְכַאֲשֶׁר נָשָֽׂאתָה לָעָם הַזֶּה. מִמִּצְרַֽיִם וְעַד הֵֽנָּה. וְשָׁם נֶאֱמַר:
“Please pardon the sins of this nation in accordance with the greatness of Your lovingkindness; and as You forgave this people from when it left Egypt until now.” And there it is said:
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהֹוָה סָלַֽחְתִּי כִּדְבָרֶֽךָ:
“And Adonoy said, I have pardoned [them] as you have asked.”
הַטֵּה אֱלֹהַי אָזְנְךָ וּשְׁמָע, פְּקַח עֵינֶֽיךָ וּרְאֵה שֹׁמְמֹתֵֽינוּ, וְהָעִיר אֲשֶׁר נִקְרָא שִׁמְךָ עָלֶֽיהָ כִּי לֹא עַל צִדְקֹתֵֽינוּ, אֲנַֽחְנוּ מַפִּילִים תַּחֲנוּנֵֽינוּ לְפָנֶֽיךָ, כִּי עַל רַחֲמֶֽיךָ הָרַבִּים: אֲדֹנָי שְׁמָֽעָה, אֲדֹנָי סְלָֽחָה, אֲדֹנָי הַקְשִֽׁיבָה וַעֲשֵׂה, אַל תְּאַחַר. לְמַעַנְךָ אֱלֹהַי, כִּי שִׁמְךָ נִקְרָא עַל עִירְךָ וְעַל עַמֶּֽךָ:
Incline Your ear, my God, and hear, open Your eyes and behold our desolate places, and the city which is called by Your Name; for it is not on account of our righteousness that we let fall our supplication before You, but because of Your great mercy. My Master, hear! My Master, pardon! My Master, listen and take action, do not delay! For Your sake, my God, because Your Name is proclaimed over Your city and over Your people.
