יִשְֹרָאֵל נוֹשַׁע בַּיהֹוָה, תְּשׁוּעַת עוֹלָמִים. גַּם־הַיּוֹם יִוָּשְׁעוּ מִפִּיךָ, שׁוֹכֵן מְרוֹמִים. כִּי אַתָּה רַב־סְלִיחוֹת וּבַעַל הָרַחֲמִים:

Israel, that is delivered by Adonoy with eternal deliverance, even this day may they be delivered [by decree] from Your mouth, You Who dwell on high! for You are magnanimous to pardon and the Lord of compassion.

שְׁעָרֶיךָ הֵם דּוֹפְקִים, כַּעֲנִיִּים וְדַלִּים. צְקוֹן־לַחֲשָׁם קְשֹׁב יָהּ שׁוֹכֵן מְעֻלִּים. כִּי אַתָּה רַב־סְלִיחוֹת וּבַעַל הָרַחֲמִים:

פְּחוּדִים הֵם מִכָּל־צָרוֹת. מִמְּחָרְפֵיהֶם וּמִלוֹחֲצֵיהֶם. נָא אַל־תַּעַזְבֵם, יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵיהֶם. כִּי אַתָּה רַב־סְלִיחוֹת וּבַעַל הָרַחֲמִים:

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

They are terrified from all [their] distress, from their slanderers and oppressors. We beseech You, do not forsake them, Adonoy, God of their fathers, for You are magnanimous to pardon and the Lord of compassion.

טוֹבוֹתֶיךָ יְקַדְּמוּ לָהֶם בְּיוֹם תּוֹכֵחָה. וּמִתּוֹךְ צָרָה הַמְצִיאֵם פְּדוּת וּרְוָחָה. כִּי אַתָּה רַב־סְלִיחוֹת וּבַעַל הָרַחֲמִים:

Let Your goodness await them on the day of chastisement, and from amidst [their] distress find for them redemption and relief, for You are magnanimous to pardon and the Lord of compassion.

יִוָּשְׁעוּ לְעֵין כֹּל וְאַל־יִמְשְׁלוּ בָם רְשָׁעִים. כַּלֵּה שֵׂעִיר וְחוֹתְנוֹ, וְיַעֲלוּ לְצִיּוֹן מוֹשִׁיעִים. כִּי אַתָּה רַב־סְלִיחוֹת וּבַעַל הָרַחֲמִים:

Listen, O Master, to the voice of their cry and to Your throne in the heavens, let their prayers ascend, for You are magnanimous to pardon and the Lord of compassion.

אֵל מֶֽלֶךְ. יוֹשֵׁב עַל כִּסֵּא רַחֲמִים. מִתְנַהֵג בַּחֲסִידוּת. מוֹחֵל עֲו‍ֹנוֹת עַמּוֹ. מַעֲבִיר רִאשׁוֹן רִאשׁוֹן. מַרְבֶּה מְחִילָה לְחַטָּאִים וּסְלִיחָה לְפוֹשְׁעִים. עוֹשֶׂה צְדָקוֹת עִם כָּל בָּשָׂר וָרֽוּחַ. לֹא כְרָעָתָם תִּגְמוֹל: אֵל הוֹרֵיתָ לָנוּ לוֹמַר שְׁלשׁ עֶשְׂרֵה. וּזְכָר לָֽנוּ הַיּוֹם בְּרִית שְׁלשׁ עֶשְׂרֵה. כְּמוֹ שֶׁהוֹדַֽעְתָּ לֶעָנָו מִקֶּֽדֶם. כְּמוֹ שֶׁכָּתוּב וַיֵּרֶד יְהֹוָה בֶּֽעָנָן וַיִּתְיַצֵּב עִמּוֹ שָׁם וַיִּקְרָא בְשֵׁם יְהֹוָה:

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. 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.
