יֹשֵׁב

You Who dwells

בְּסֵתֶר עֶלְיוֹן.

in the shelter of the Most High;

בִּימִין יֶשַׁע

with Your right hand of deliverance,

לְהִוָּשַׁע, עַם עָנִי וְאֶבְיוֹן.

deliver a people poor and needy.

בְּשַׁוְעֵנוּ אֵלֶיךָ

When we cry to You,

נוֹרָאוֹת, בְצֶדֶק תַּעֲנֵנוּ.

Adonoy, be our Helper!

שִׁוִּיתִי עֶזְרָתִי,

I have placed my reliance

עַל גִּבּוֹר וְנִשָּׂא.

upon Him Who is mighty and uplifted,

לִפְנֵי גֹחִי

before Him Who drew me out of the womb,

אֶשְׁפֹּךְ שִׂיחִי,

I pour our my prayer,

אוּלַי פָנַי יִשָּׂא.

perhaps He will lift up my face;

מִדָּתִי כִּוַּנְתִּי,

I have set the “Thirteen Attributes” [in my prayer]

כַּסֵּדֶר אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂה.

according to the order which He ordained,

הֲלֹא יַקִּיר

with these Your precious one [Israel]

מְקַרְקֵר קִיר,

will break down the wall [separating us],

עוֹד זָכוֹר תִּזְכְּרֶנּוּ.

remember us still,

יְהֹוָה הֱיֵה עוֹזֵר לָנוּ:

Adonoy, be our Helper!

בְּבֹא כְגַל הַגַּלְגָּל,

When the wheel of Satan comes like a wave¹When we are overwhelmed with misfortune.

לְהַחֲלִיף הַשִּׁטָּה.

הַבִּיטָה.

“Look [and see our troubles;]”

בְּאַוַּת נַפְשָׁהּ הִגִּישָׁה,

with a yearning soul she approaches You,

לִפְתֹּחַ בַּחֲרָטָה.

regretting her transgressions,

יְמִין פְּשׁוּטָה מִלְמַטָּה,

may Your right hand be stretched forth below,

בְּצִפִּיָּתֵנוּ צִפִּינוּ.

To those who gather to beseech Your kindness,

הִנְּנִי תֹאמַר.

מָרוּת יֶצֶר הִבָּצֵר,

Restrain the dominion of our evil inclination,

קָבוּעַ כְּבַמַּסְמָר.

set in us as though nailed down,

וּלְצַוָּאר כְּמוֹ סַוָּאר,

weighing heavily on our necks like a beam,

הוּטַל לְמִשְׁמָר.

placed there to hold us in his power.

וּמִי אָזַר

Who is strong enough

זֵר לְזָר,

to throw off the stranger [Satan],

וּמִי אַכְזָר כִּי יְעִירֶנּוּ.

or fierce enough to remove him?

יְהֹוָה הֱיֵה עוֹזֵר לָנוּ:

Adonoy, be our Helper!

בָּרֵר חִכִּי, לְהַצְדִּיקִי,

cleanse my tongue that I may justify myself,

יְבֻקַּשׁ עָוֹן וְאֵינֶנוּ.

let my iniquity be sought for in vain.

יְהֹוָה הֱיֵה עוֹזֵר לָנוּ:

Adonoy, be our Helper!

יוֹנַת אֵלֶם מִשָּׁלֵם,

May the Perfect One grant the silent dove

חֵלֶק יָפֶה תַּגִּיעַ.

a goodly portion,

אוֹת צֶדֶק

it will be a sign of righteousness—

בְּהִצְטַדֵּק בְּיִרְאָתְךָ

לְהוֹשִׁיעָה.

—when You deliver her [from exile];

לְךָ תִּקְרָא עֵת לְשַׁחְרְרָהּ,

אָדוֹן בְּזוֹ הַשָּׁעָה.

תַּצְלִיחִי בְּמִשְׁלָחִי,

חִזַּקְתָּ חֹק חַקְתָּ,

You established a strong statute

עֶשֶׂר וְשָׁלֹשׁ כִּמְדֻבָּר.

שֻׁלַּחְתִּי לְהִתְגַּבָּר.

I have been sent to utter them with might,

וְכֹה תַעֲשֶׂה עָוֹן נֹשֵׂא,

and do this You Who bears iniquity,
