**אֲנִי יוֹם אִירָא** אֵלֶיךָ אֶקְרָא. בַּל־יַעַשְׁקוּנִי זֵדִים עוֹזְבֵי־יְקָרָה. גְּמוּל לְהָשִׁיב לָהֶם, שֵׁב לְבַקְּרָה. דִּין רָשָׁע וְעַוָּל, מְלוֹאָם יִקְרָא:

**The Metsudah Selichos: translated and annotated by Rabbi Avrohom Davis, Metsudah Publications, 1986:**

הַחוֹשְׁבִים לְהַשְׁכִּיחַ שֵׁם־קֹדֶשׁ הַנִּכְבָּד. וּלְהַרְגִּיל שֵׁם־טֻמְאָה נִקְלֶה וְנֶעֱבָד. זֶה דַרְכָּם, טוּבֵי־עָם אִבָּד. חֲשֹךְ הַשְּׁאָר, מִכָּתְשָׁם בְּבֵית הַבָּד:

**The Metsudah Selichos: translated and annotated by Rabbi Avrohom Davis, Metsudah Publications, 1986:**
Those who intend to make us forget Your holy and revered Name and make us familiar with idolatrous names— that are despicable and vulgar; through their methods the best of our people have been destroyed. Spare the remnant from being crushed as [olives] in an oilpress.

טְרֹף טֶרֶף אָדָם, לִמְּדוּ כִּמְדֻבָּר. יַדּוּ גּוֹרָל כְּעַל־הֶפְקֵר בַּמִּדְבָּר. כִּמְעַט כָּלוּ, וְלֹא יַעַדְּרוּ דָבָר. לוּלֵי רַחֲמֶיךָ, אָדוֹן בְּחֶסֶד דַּבָּר:

**The Metsudah Selichos: translated and annotated by Rabbi Avrohom Davis, Metsudah Publications, 1986:**
As they tear beasts of prey, so they learned to devour man, as it is said:¹¹ they cast lots for us as if we were ownerless property in the wilderness. We were almost utterly consumed, and nothing would have been left of us, were it not for Your mercy, O Master, Who rules with kindness

¹¹ Ezekiel 19:3.

מִי־יְהַרְהֵר אַחַר מִדּוֹתֶיךָ לְדַיְּנָה. נוֹכְחָיו לְהָשִׁיב מֵחֲלָצָיו לְזַיְּנָה. סַרְנוּ וְסֹעַרְנוּ, וְנִשְׁמְטָה חֶרֶב הַיּוֹנָה. עִמְּךָ הַדִּין, וְיָדְךָ עַל־הָעֶלְיוֹנָה:

**The Metsudah Selichos: translated and annotated by Rabbi Avrohom Davis, Metsudah Publications, 1986:**
Who dares murmur at Your ways, to argue against them? who dares gird himself to dispute You? We have turned away [from Your mitzvos] and have been scattered like the wind. The enemy’s bloody sword was drawn; but with You is justice and Your hand is uppermost.

פֶּן יֹאמַר יָכֹלְתִּי, בַּעַל־הַמּוֹט. צָרֵי יְהוּדָה יָגִילוּ כִּי־אֶמֹּט. קְרָא לִמְכוּרֵי־חִנָּם, שְׁנַת שָׁמוֹט. רָשָׁע הַפּוֹשֵׁט יָד, יִסֹּג אָחוֹר וְיִקְמֹט:

**The Metsudah Selichos: translated and annotated by Rabbi Avrohom Davis, Metsudah Publications, 1986:**

**The Metsudah Selichos: translated and annotated by Rabbi Avrohom Davis, Metsudah Publications, 1986:**
Your bill of sale¹² preceded theirs and yet the creditors¹³ demand payment. To postpone Your lien [is the intent] of the many harsh rulers. The border marks of Your boundary,¹⁴ they seek to uproot. The grain [Israel] which You sanctified, has been devoured— both grain ears and chaff.¹⁵

footnotes:
¹² You acquired Israel as Your exclusive possession.
¹³ Israel’s enemies.
¹⁴ The Mitzvos of the Torah are boundary marks dividing Israel from all other nations.

**The Metsudah Selichos: translated and annotated by Rabbi Avrohom Davis, Metsudah Publications, 1986:**

Almighty! King! Who sits on the throne of mercy, governs with kindness forgives the iniquities of His people.
