This prayer was composed by Rabbi Shlomo ibn Gabirol.

[You are] the Judge of all the earth,

and You arraign her in judgment,

we beseech You, life and kindness

bestow on an afflicted people.

Accept their morning prayer

as a substitute for the burnt offering—

as the burnt offering of the morning

which was a continual burnt offering.

You are wrapped in a cloak of righteousness,

You alone have the ability [to forgive],

if we have no [good] deeds,

recall the virtues

of the [Patriarchs] who sleep in Hebron,

and may their merits ascend

as a memorial before Adonoy always.

As the burnt offering of the morning

which was a continual burnt offering.

You are inclined towards kindness

to favor man with life.

Incline Your nation toward kindness

be benevolent with him, that he may live,

inscribe him with the sign of life,

and let it be on his forehead always.

As the burnt offering of the morning

which was a continual burnt offering.

Do good, as You see fit, to Zion,

My holy city.

Grant power and fame in Your House

to my holy ones [the pious and righteous],

and an illuminated lamp for the son of Yishai;

that a light be kept burning always.

As the burnt offering of the morning

which was a continual burnt offering.

Be strong and let your hearts take courage

my people, whose strength is in the Almighty;

and when You keep His testimonies,

He, too, will in equal measure

atone Your sins,

and will remember mercy in His anger.

Seek Adonoy and His strength,

seek His Presence always.

As the burnt offering of the morning

which was a continual burnt offering.

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.

Congregation and Chazzan:

And Adonoy passed before him [Moses];

and proclaimed:

Adonoy, Adonoy,

Almighty, Merciful, Gracious,

Slow to Anger,

and Abundant in Kindness, and Truth.

Keeper of kindness

for thousands of generations,

Endurer of iniquity, and transgression,

and sin;

and Acquitter of those who repent.”

“And pardon our iniquity and our sin,

and take us for Your inheritance.”

Pardon us our Father, for we have sinned,

forgive us our King, for we have transgressed.

“For You, my Master,

are good and forgiving,

and abounding in kindness

to all who call upon You.”

Remember not the sins of our ancestors;

let Your compassion come swiftly toward us,

for we have been brought very low.

The sins of our youth and our transgressions,

remember not;

with Your kindliness remember us

for the sake of Your goodness, Adonoy.

Remember Your mercies, Adonoy,

and kindlinesses

for they are from the beginning of the world.

Remember us Adonoy

with favor for Your people

recall us with Your deliverance.

Remember Your congregation

which You have acquired of old,

You have redeemed the tribe

of Your inheritance,

this mountain of Zion where You have dwelled.

Remember, Adonoy, the affection of Jerusalem,

the love of Zion, forget not until eternity.

Remember, Adonoy,

to the sons of Edom, the day of Jerusalem,

[it was they] who said,

“Raze it, raze it to its very foundations.”

You will arise

and have compassion on Zion,

for it is time to be gracious to her,

for the appointed time has come.

Remember Abraham, Isaac, Israel,

Your servants,

to whom You swore by Your very Self,

and You said to them:

“I will multiply your seed

as the stars of the heavens;

and all this land that I have promised,

I will give to your descendants,

and they will inherit it forever.”

Remember Your servants,

Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob;

do not regard the stubborness of this people,

or their wickedness, or their sin.

Do not, we beseech You

place upon us this sin,

wherein we have acted foolishly and sinned.

We have sinned, our Rock,

forgive us, our Creator.
