Accept Your people’s fast

who sprinkle their blood to You;

consider their fat as an offering,

do not disdain their sacrifice.

Set upon them the sign of life—

regard their prayer.

This sign will take place tomorrow.

Gird Yourself with righteousness,

eternal and lofty Reposer.

Support the stumblers,

extend Your hand to lift them

whose tear is their drink,

whose groan is their bread.

Avenge the blood of Your servants

from their enemies, until they are no more.

Look at their blood that is shed

to know why and wherefore this.

This sign will take place tomorrow.

Gracious One! grant Your people

who trust in Your Name;

appoint and advocate for me

who will hide my sin—

hide my debt in his left

and raise my merit in his right,

and bring up Isaac’s ashes]

so that He will say, “This is it!”

This sign will take place tomorrow.

Come and hear my prayer;

open the gate before my cries

to cleanse me of sin

like a one-year-old.

And silence the tongue of my prosecutor;

let him not open his mouth.

Adonoy will shout at Satan,

“Get off this, immediately!”

This sign will take place tomorrow.

How shall I greet, approach,

the One Who takes no bribe?

I have no deed in hand,

and my heart is therefore afraid.

But now that I mention

the kingship of Your unique Name,

on this I rely,

when we say “Adonoy is One”

in unison as one,

one on that side and one on this.

This sign will take place tomorrow.

See, I have no one atoning for me,

no one to serve for me;

the priest, garbed in white, is no longer,

nor is the High Priest, adorned in glory,

nor is there an obligatory, sin-offering,

nor free-will and vow-offering;

so You will atone for me,

examiner of kidney and chamber.

Close the breaches of Your sheep

and make space for the flock.

Build them a fence

on that side and one on this.

This sign will take place tomorrow.

Under Your shield have come the children

who were exiled;

Your children have gathered in Your house,

awed and upset.

Recall the kindliness of their forefathers

when they come to be judged;

in truth and peace they meet,

that one facing this one.

This sign will take place tomorrow.

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;

pardon us our Creator.

Remember to us the covenant of the Patriarchs,

as You promised,

“And I will remember my covenant with Jacob,

and also my covenant with Isaac,

and also my covenant with Abraham

will I remember,”

and the land I will remember.
