To You, we pour out our hearts and souls

like water,

all of us—to the Almighty in heaven.

Come, you old, with your young,

cleanse yourselves,

and remove your sinfulness.

Let us multiply before Him

[our] supplication and prayer,

and this we ask of our God:

That the good [inclination]

prevail over the corrupt [one],

that he forsake his way—

the transgressor and evildoer.

Prepare your heart and amend your thoughts

for great is the power of repentance.

In the assembly of people

let us multiply words [of prayer]

and the mighty God will not abhor them.

He desires the return of the corrupt sinner,

to save his soul from destruction [Gehinnom].

Hear [our] supplication

and accept those who beseech You,

as we lift up our hands

toward Your Holy Dwelling.

May the words of our mouth

be acceptable [before You],

and atone our sins,

both the involuntary and the intentional.

Consider and remember

the call of Your pleasant ones,

and relent of the evil against Your people.

Grant the desire of Your servants,

and let them delight in Your comfort.

They rely on Your kindliness

and trust in Your compassion.

For in Your abundant mercy

we trust,

and on Your righteousness, we rely,

and for Your pardon, we hope,

and for Your deliverance, we yearn.

You are a King

Who loves righteousness from of old,

Who passes over the iniquities of His people,

and removes the sins of those who fear Him.

You made a covenant with the Patriarchs,

and will keep [Your] oath

with their descendants.

You are He Who descended

in the cloud of Your glory, on Mount Sinai,

and disclosed the ways of Your goodness

to Moses, Your servant.

The ways of Your kindliness,

You revealed to him;

and You made known to him

that You are Almighty, Merciful, Gracious,

Slow to anger, Abounding in kindness,

and full of beneficence,

guiding the entire world

with the quality of mercy.

And so it is written:

“And He said:

‘I will cause to pass

all My goodness before you,

and I will proclaim the Name, Adonoy

in your presence;

I will be gracious

to whom I will be gracious,

and I will be compassionate

to whom I will be compassionate.’”

You are Almighty, Slow to Anger,

Lord of Mercy, You are called,

and the way of repentance, You have taught us.

The greatness of Your mercy and kindliness,

remember this day and every day

for the descendants of Your loved ones.

Turn to us with compassion

for You are the Lord of Mercy.

With supplication and prayer

we approach Your Presence,

as You made known

to [Moses,] the modest one of old.

From Your fierce anger turn,

as it is written in Your Torah.

In the shadow of Your wings,

may we be sheltered and lodged,

as on the day [of which it is said:]

“When Adonoy descended in the cloud.”

Remove [our] transgression,

and blot out [our] iniquity,

as on the day [of which it is said:]

“And He stood with him there.”

Give ear to our cry

and listen to our speech,

as on the day [of which it is said:]

“And He proclaimed the Name, Adonoy”

And there it is said:

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.

Israel will be delivered by Adonoy

for an everlasting deliverance;

she will not be ashamed or humiliated

for all eternity.

The hope of Israel is Adonoy,

their deliverer in time of affliction.

Hope of Israel, Adonoy,

all who forsake You, will be humiliated.

“And there is hope in your destiny

says Adonoy,

“[Your] children will return to their borders.”

I hoped continually for Adonoy’s [help],

and He turned to me and heard my cry.

Righteousness is Yours, my Master,

and the shame is ours

to this very day.

Do good, as You see fit, to Zion

may You rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.

As a father has compassion on his children

so do You have compassion on us, Adonoy.

Deliverance is Adonoy’s;

upon Your people is Your blessing. Selah!

Adonoy of Hosts is with us,

a stronghold for us is the God of Jacob. Selah!

Adonoy of Hosts!

fortunate is the man who trusts in You.

Adonoy, deliver us!

the King will answer us on the day we call.

The Chazzan repeats after the congregation:

“Please pardon the sins of this nation

in accordance with the greatness

of Your lovingkindness;

and as You forgave this people

from when it left Egypt until now.”

And there it is said.

The Congregation says:

“And Adonoy said,

I have pardoned [them] as you have asked.”

Incline Your ear, my God, and hear,

open Your eyes and behold our desolate places,

and the city which is called by Your Name;

for it is not on account of our righteousness

that we let fall our supplication before You,

but because of Your great mercy.

My Master, hear! My Master, pardon!

My Master, listen and take action,

do not delay!

For Your sake, my God,

because Your Name is proclaimed

over Your city and over Your people.
