Master, if You judge scrupulously, examining actions meticulously, no man will be found righteous before You. You find fault with the hosts of Heaven, faulting even Your angels— certainly one1Man. who drinks wrong like water.
Neither merit nor justice are in us, we are totally sinful. Good One, enter not into judgement with us. Let Your innards churn for us, in Your abundant mercy turn to us, Not to do as our evil deeds deserve.
Our willful acts are too many to count. There are no sweet savored offerings to provide pardon for our iniquities. On our righteousness we do not rely; we are sullied with iniquity and sin. To find charity we come in prayer.
Do not measure our ways strictly; maggots and worms are our end, vanity and emptiness our [lives] years. Repent the evil, change Your mind. That is Your way, merciful one; with Your great mercies, have mercy on us.
Your ways You instructed the humble one2Moses is referred to as the humble one. to teach, You informed him of the thirteen in sequence, assured him they are never ineffective. Our supplication we have arranged accordingly before You. Hear the cries of Your supplicants and do not send us away empty-handed from Your Presence.
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. 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.”
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.
