לַעֲשָׂרָה הֲרוּגֵי מְלוּכָה.

**English Edition; Koren Publishers Jerusalem, 2017:**
אֵֽלֶּה אֶזְכְּרָה These I remember, and I pour out my soul within me,
for evil ones have swallowed us, like a cake not yet turned –
when during the Caesar’s rule there was no deliverance
for the ten martyrs of that empire.

likened to heaps of grain,
considering and discerning our written tradition,
he happened to open at “These are the statutes,”
and devised an evil plan
as he read, “One who steals a man and sells him, and is found out – shall surely be put to death.”

How, through our sins, is it now licking the dust?”

אַל תַּעַזְבֵֽנוּ יהוה, אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ אַל תִּרְחַק מִמֶּֽנּוּ.
עֲשֵׂה עִמָּֽנוּ אוֹת לְטוֹבָה, וְיִרְאוּ שׂוֹנְאֵֽינוּ וְיֵבֹֽשׁוּ
כִּי אַתָּה יהוה עֲזַרְתָּֽנוּ וְנִחַמְתָּֽנוּ.
אֲמָרֵֽינוּ הַאֲזִֽינָה יהוה, בִּֽינָה הֲגִיגֵֽנוּ.

**English Edition; Koren Publishers Jerusalem, 2017:**
Do not desert us, LORD; our God, do not be distant from us.
Give us a sign of good things,
and those who hate us shall see it and be ashamed,
for You, LORD, will help us and console us.
Hear our speech, LORD, consider our thoughts.

אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ Our God and God of our ancestors,
do not abandon us and do not desert us,
do not shame us and do not abandon Your covenant with us;
bring us close to Your Torah, teach us Your commandments,
show us Your ways, and turn our hearts toward the awe of Your name.
Circumcise our hearts to love You,
so that we return to You in truth, wholeheartedly.
For the sake of Your great name, pardon and forgive our iniquities,
as it is written in Your holy Writings:
“For the sake of Your name, LORD,
forgive my iniquity, though it is great.”

But You are here, and Your years will not end.
