אָדוֹן דִּין אִם יְדֻקְדַּק. בְּחֵקֶר פֹּעַל אִם יֻבְדַּק. גֶּבֶר לְפָנֶיךָ לֹא יִצְדַּק: דֹּפִי תִּתֵּן בִּצְבָא מַעְלָה. הֵן בְּמַלְאָכֶיךָ תָּשִֹים תָּהֳלָה. וְאַף שׁוֹתֶה כַּמַּיִם עַוְלָה:

**The Metsudah Selichos: translated and annotated by Rabbi Avrohom Davis, Metsudah Publications, 1986:**
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 one¹ who drinks wrong like water.

footnotes:
¹ Man.

זְכוּת וּצְדָקָה אֵין בָּנוּ. חֵטְא וְרֶשַׁע כֻּלָּנוּ. טוֹב אַל־תָּבֹא בְּמִשְׁפָּט עִמָּנוּ: יֶהֱמוּ מֵעֶיךָ עָלֵינוּ. כְּרוֹב רַחֲמֶיךָ פְּנֵה אֵלֵינוּ. לְבִלְתִּי כְּרֹעַ מַעֲלָלֵינוּ:

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

מְשׁוּבוֹתֵינוּ רַבּוּ מִלִּמְנוֹת. נִיחוֹחִים אַיִן וְקָרְבָּנוֹת. סְלִיחָה מְצֹא לַעֲוֹנוֹת: עַל־צִדְקוֹתֵינוּ אֵין אָנוּ סְמוּכִים. פֶּשַׁע וְעָווֹן מְלֻכְלָכִים. צְדָקָה מְצֹא תַּחַן עוֹרְכִים:

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

קַו אַל־תִּמְתַּח בְּאוֹרְחוֹתֵינוּ. רִמָּה וְתוֹלֵעָה אַחֲרִיתֵנוּ. שָׁוְא וְהֶבֶל שְׁנוֹתֵינוּ: תָּשׁוּב עַל־הָרָעָה תִּנָּחֵם. זֶה דַרְכְּךָ חִנָּם מְרַחֵם. בְּרַחֲמֶיךָ הָרַבִּים עָלֵינוּ רַחֵם:

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

**The Metsudah Selichos: translated and annotated by Rabbi Avrohom Davis, Metsudah Publications, 1986:**
Your ways You instructed the humble one² 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.
