You remember

the dealings of [men in] today’s world,

and You [also] consider the behavior

of all those who lived in earlier times.

In Your Presence are revealed

all hidden things

and the multitude of secrets

from the beginning of creation;

for there is no forgetfulness

before the throne of Your Glory,

and there is nothing hidden from Your eyes.

You remember all that has been done,

and even all that which is formed

is not concealed from You.

All is revealed and known before You

Adonoy, our God

Who observes and looks

until the end of all generations.

For You set

an appointed time of remembrance,

to consider every soul and being;

to cause numerous deeds to be remembered

and the multitude of creatures without end.

From the beginning of creation,

You have made this known,

and from before time

You have revealed it.

This day [Rosh Hashana]

is the beginning of Your work

a memorial of the first day.

For it is a statute for Yisrael

a [day of] judgment of the God of Yaakov.

And over countries

[judgment] is pronounced,

which of them is destined for the sword [war]

and which for peace,

which for famine and which for abundance.

And on it, creatures are brought to mind,

to be remembered for life or for death.

Who is not considered on this day?

For the remembrance of all that is formed

comes before You:

the dealings of man,

and the decree of his fate,

and the misdeeds of man’s actions,

the thoughts of man and his schemes,

and the motives for the deeds of man.

Fortunate is the man

who does not forget You,

the son of man

who gains strength in You.

For those who seek You

will never stumble,

and never will they be disgraced—

all who trust in You.

For the remembrance of all their deeds

come before You,

and You examine the deeds of all of them.

And No’ach too, You remembered with love,

and [therefore] decreed for him

a promise of deliverance and compassion,

when You brought the flood-waters

to destroy all flesh

because of the wickedness of their deeds.

Therefore, his remembrance came before You,

Adonoy, our God,

to multiply his seed

like the dust of the earth,

and his descendants as the sand of the sea;

as it is written in Your Torah;

“And God remembered No’ach

and all the beasts

and all the cattle

that were with him in the Ark,

and God caused a wind to pass

over the earth,

and the waters were calmed.”

And it is said:

“And God heard their groaning cry,

and God remembered His covenant

with Avraham, with Yitzchak,

and with Yaakov.”

And it is said:

“I will remember My covenant with Yaakov,

and also My covenant with Yitzchak,

and also My covenant with Avraham,

will I remember;

and the land [of Yisrael] I will remember.”

And in Your holy words it is written:

“He made a memorial for His wonders,

gracious and merciful is Adonoy.”

And it is said:

“He gave food to those who fear Him;

He is ever mindful of His covenant.”

And it is said:

“And He remembered His covenant for them,

and He relented

in accordance with His abundant kindness.”

And by the hand of Your servants,

the Prophets

it is written:

“Go and proclaim it

in the ears of Yerushalayim, saying:

thus said Adonoy,

I remembered for you

the kindness of your youth,

the love of your bridal days,

how you followed Me into the wilderness,

in a land that was not cultivated.”

And it is said:

“I will remember My covenant

[which I made] with you

in the days of your youth,

and I will fulfill it for you

as an everlasting covenant.”

And it is said:

“Is Ephraim not My precious son,

is he not a child of delight?

For whenever I speak of him,

I recall him even more;

Therefore,

My innermost being is aroused for him,

I will surely have compassion on him,

says Adonoy.”

Our God and God of our fathers

remember us favorably before You

and be mindful of us

for deliverance and compassion

from the eternal high heavens.

Remember in our behalf, Adonoy, our God,

the covenant, the kindness

and the oath which You swore

to our father Avraham on Mount Moriah,

and let there appear before You

the binding with which our father Avraham

bound his son Yitzchak upon the altar,

and how he suppressed his compassion

to do Your will with a whole heart;

so may Your compassion suppress

Your anger against us,

and in Your great goodness

turn Your fierce anger away

from Your people, and from Your city,

from Your land,

and from Your territorial heritage.

And fulfill for us Adonoy, our God

the promise You made in Your Torah,

through Your servant, Moshe,

from the mouth of Your glory,

as it is said:

“I will remember for them

the covenant with their forefathers

whom I took out

of the land of Mitzrayim,

before the eyes of the nations,

to be their God;

I am Adonoy.”

For He Who remembers all forgotten things

from eternity, are You,

and there is no forgetfulness

before the Throne of Your Glory;

and the binding of Yitzchak—

on behalf of his descendants—

may You remember it today with compassion.

Blessed are You Adonoy,

Who remembers the covenant.

On this day, the world came into being;

On this day, He makes stand in judgment—

all the creatures of the worlds—

whether as children, or as servants;

if as children,

have compassion on us

as a father has compassion on his children!

If as servants,

our eyes are fixed on You

until You favor us,

and bring forth our judgment as the light,

Revered and Holy One!

May the utterance of our lips

be pleasing unto You,

Almighty, Most High and Uplifted,

Who understands, and gives ear,

Who perceives and listens

to the sound of our shofar blast,

and accept with compassion and desire

our prayers of remembrance.
