יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אַתָּה צַדִּיק אֱלוֹהַּ סְלִיחוֹת. בְּלֵב נִדְכֶּה בָּאנוּ לְחַלּוֹתְךָ וּבְשִׁבְרוֹן רוּחוֹת. גַם עֶשְׁתּוֹנוֹת קָשַׁטְנוּ וְהֵכַנּוּ סִתְרֵי טוּחוֹת. דָּגוּל תְּהִי נָא אָזְנְךָ קַשֶּׁבֶת וְעֵינֶיךָ פְּקוּחוֹת:

**The Metsudah Selichos: translated and annotated by Rabbi Avrohom Davis, Metsudah Publications, 1986:**
Adonoy, God of Israel, You are righteous, God of forgiveness. With subdued heart we come to beg of You, with broken spirits; we’ve adorned our thoughts and prepared our hidden kidneys. Lofty One, let Your ears heed, let Your eyes perceive.

**The Metsudah Selichos: translated and annotated by Rabbi Avrohom Davis, Metsudah Publications, 1986:**
Intertwining about me are plague upon plague; there’s no doctor, no specialist to cure me. The Evildoer digs a pit, looking forward to trap the weak; a smooth snare at his feet [so the victim will] walk into the net.

טֹרָדוּ חַתּוּ יְדִידֶיךָ הֶעְתִּיקוּ מִלִּים וְטַעֲנָה. יְהוּדָה וְיִשְׂרָאֵל הוּסַר מֵהֶם מַשְׁעֵן וּמַשְׁעֵנָה. כְּרֹאשׁ שִׁבֹּלֶת נִמָּלוּ וְנַפְשָׁם דָּאֲבָה וְנַעֲנָה. לִרְעָבָם מְרוֹרִים שָׂבְעוּ וְלִצְמָאָם רָווּ לַעֲנָה:

**The Metsudah Selichos: translated and annotated by Rabbi Avrohom Davis, Metsudah Publications, 1986:**
Your beloved are confused and broken, they lack words and argument; Judah and Israel have had their supports removed. Shriveled like a spike of grain, their persons pained and oppressed, their hunger sated with bitter herbs, their thirst quenched with vermouth.

**The Metsudah Selichos: translated and annotated by Rabbi Avrohom Davis, Metsudah Publications, 1986:**
From the deepest thoughts of sage and rabbi alike is hidden the length of the era, is sealed the duration of ruin. The daily atonements are gone, sacrifice is abolished. Your servants are impatient while the prideful rebel is calm.

**The Metsudah Selichos: translated and annotated by Rabbi Avrohom Davis, Metsudah Publications, 1986:**
Redeemer and Rescuer, have You forgotten to commiserate, to grant clemency? Will You keep looking at our rebellion, forever recall our putridity? Are You so angry that You’ve sealed off cries and prayers? To Your myriad thousands return and dwell amid their camps.

שַׁח גַּבְהוּת יִשְׂרָאֵל וְרוּם יְהוּדָה שָׁפֵל. תַּלְפִּיּוֹת חָרֵב, לֹא נֹגַהּ לוֹ וְאֹפֵל. אוֹר לְצַלְמָוֶת הוּשַׂם, וְגִיהַּ הוּשַׁת לָעֲרָפֶל. לְאָן שַׁעַן הוֹרִים וּזְכוּת יְשֵׁנֵי מַכְפֵּל:

**The Metsudah Selichos: translated and annotated by Rabbi Avrohom Davis, Metsudah Publications, 1986:**
Diminished is Israel’s pride, the pride of Judah denigrated; the Temple ruined, unillumined, in darkness. Light was turned to death’s shadow, shine to cloudiness. Where’s the forefather’s Support, the merit of those who sleep in Machpela?

**The Metsudah Selichos: translated and annotated by Rabbi Avrohom Davis, Metsudah Publications, 1986:**
Creator, when You judge no man is favored, elevated; The wealthy are leveled, equated with the poor. Why is the despicable one respected, the little one raised and great? While the desirable one, the play-child, is imprisoned, prophecy gone!

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.
