שַׁחַר קַמְתִּי לְהוֹדוֹת לְךָ אֱלֹהֵי תְהִלָּתִי. וַאֲרַנֵּן לְךָ בֹּקֶר וְאוֹדִיעֲךָ חַטָּאתִי. תִּנָּתֶן לִי בָזֶה שָֹכָר לִפְעֻלָּתִי. נַפְשִׁי בִּשְׁאֵלָתִי וְעַמִּי בְּבַקָּשָׁתִי:

לְפָנִים זֹאת בְּיִשְֹרָאֵל מַקְרִיבֵי הַקָּרְבָּן. אִם חַטָּאַי כַּשָּׁנִי כֻּלּוֹ הָפַךְ לָבָן. וַאֲדַדֶּה כָּל שְׁנוֹתַי וַאַאֲנִין עַל הַחֻרְבָּן, וְאֵין לִי לְבַד מִלָּתִי וְעוֹלָתִי תְפִלָּתִי: נַפְשִׁי בִּשְׁאֵלָתִי וְעַמִּי בְּבַקָּשָׁתִי:

**The Metsudah Selichos: translated and annotated by Rabbi Avrohom Davis, Metsudah Publications, 1986:**
In former days in Israel, when sacrifices were offered, though my sins were red as scarlet, they turned completely white.² Therefore, sleep escapes my eyes, and I lament the destruction [of the Temple]; and I have nought but my words and my prayer is my burnt-offering, that my life be spared at my request, and my people at my petition.

footnotes:
² Through the sin-offering.

מִזְבֵּחַ בִּהְיוֹתוֹ וְקָדָשִׁים לִזְבִיחָה. וְהֵבִיא אִישׁ אֶת־זִבְחוֹ וְחַטָּאתוֹ נִמְחָה. אָפֵס מֶנִּי מְכַהֵן וְאֵין־זֶבַח וְאֵין מִנְחָה. תּוֹדָתִי זְבִחָתִי שִׂיחָתִי מִנְחָתִי. נַפְשִׁי בִּשְׁאֵלָתִי וְעַמִּי בְּבַקָּשָׁתִי:

**The Metsudah Selichos: translated and annotated by Rabbi Avrohom Davis, Metsudah Publications, 1986:**
When the Altar still existed, and sacred offerings were slaughtered. Each man brought his offering and his sin was eradicated; but now there is no Priest, no sacrifice, no meal offering; [therefore] let my confession be my sacrifice and my prayer be my meal offering, that my life be spared at my request, and my people at my petition.

הֵן בִּהְיוֹת הָעֲבוֹדָה וְכֹהֲנִים עַל מִשְׁמֶרֶת. הֲלֹא חַטָּאת מְכַפֶּרֶת וְהָעוֹלָה מַכְשֶׁרֶת. וְאֵין חַטָּאת וְאֵין עוֹלָה וְלֹא חֵלֶב וְיוֹתֶרֶת. וְאֶשְׁפֹּךְ אֶת רִנָּתִי וְאַפִּיל תְּחִנָּתִי: נַפְשִׁי בִּשְׁאֵלָתִי וְעַמִּי בְּבַקָּשָׁתִי:

**The Metsudah Selichos: translated and annotated by Rabbi Avrohom Davis, Metsudah Publications, 1986:**
Behold, when there was a sacrificial service³ and the Priests served their turn, the sin-offering atoned, and the burnt-offering exonerated; [but now] there is neither sin nor burnt-offering, no fat and no liver-lobe; [instead] I pour out my prayer and present my supplication, that my life be spared at my request, and my people at my petition.

הֵן קֶדֶם בַּמִּקְדָּשׁ בְּקוּם זְרִיזִים בְּאַשְׁמֹרֶת. טְהוֹרִים נִצְּבוּ לְהָפִיס, חֲדָשִׁים לִקְטֹרֶת. וְאֵין לְבוֹנָה וְאֵין קְטֹרֶת וְנִשְׁאַרְתִּי שְׁחַרְחֹרֶת. בְּהִתְוַדּוֹת חַטָּאתִי תְּהִי כְקָרְבָּן תּוֹדָתִי: נַפְשִׁי בִּשְׁאֵלָתִי וְעַמִּי בְּבַקָּשָׁתִי:

**The Metsudah Selichos: translated and annotated by Rabbi Avrohom Davis, Metsudah Publications, 1986:**
Behold, in the Holy Temple of old, when the zealous priests rose early, the pure ones stood to draw lots,⁴ but only new ones⁵ offered the incense; but now there is no frankincense and no incense offering, and I am left blackened with sin; [therefore] when I confess my sins, let my confession be accepted as an offering, that my life be spared at my request, and my people at my petition.

footnotes:
⁴ This was done in order to assign the priests to the various services.
⁵ A priest could only perform the incense offering once in his lifetime because it enriched the one performing it.

**The Metsudah Selichos: translated and annotated by Rabbi Avrohom Davis, Metsudah Publications, 1986:**
See [O God] my Holy One, that my hurt is greater than my groaning, and there is none to stand by me, and I have no House of Rest [the Temple]; only in You [I trust] and mention Your Name. Strong Rock of my deliverance; remove my guilt, and then my righteousness will answer for me, spare my life as my request and my people as my petition.
