פב. פזמון. חתום אמתי בן שפטיה

יְהֹוָה יְהֹוָה אֵל רַחוּם וְחַנּוּן אֶֽרֶךְ אַפַּֽיִם וְרַב חֶֽסֶד וֶֽאֱמֶת: נֹצֵר חֶֽסֶד לָאֲלָפִים נֹשֵׂא עָו‍ֹן וָפֶֽשַׁע וְחַטָּאָה וְנַקֵּה: וְסָלַחְתָּ לַעֲו‍ֹנֵֽנוּ וּלְחַטָּאתֵֽנוּ וּנְחַלְתָּֽנוּ:

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

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.”

אֶזְכְּרָה אֱלֹהִים וְאֶהֱמָיָה. בִּרְאוֹתִי כָּל־עִיר עַל־תִּלָּהּ בְּנוּיָה. וְעִיר־הָאֱלֹהִים מֻשְׁפֶּלֶת עַד שְׁאוֹל תַּחְתִּיָּה. וּבְכָל־זֹאת אָנוּ לְיָהּ וְעֵינֵינוּ לְיָהּ:

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

I remember O God, and I moan when I see every city built on its site, and the city of God [Jerusalem] is humbled to the bottom of the pit; and yet we cleave to God, and our eyes look to God.

מִדַּת הָרַחֲמִים עָלֵינוּ הִתְגַּלְגְּלִי. וְלִפְנֵי קוֹנֵךְ תְּחִנָּתֵינוּ הַפִּילִי. וּבְעַד עַמֵּךְ רַחֲמִים שַׁאֲלִי. כִּי כָל־לֵבָב דַּוָּי וְכָל־רֹאשׁ לָחֳלִי:

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

Divine Mercy, intercede for us, and before your Possessor, present our supplication, and on behalf of your people, plead for compassion; for every heart is faint and every head is ill.

תָּמַכְתִּי יְתֵדוֹתַי בִּשְׁלֹשׁ עֶשְׂרֵה תֵבוֹת. וּבְשַׁעֲרֵי דְמָעוֹת כִּי לֹא נִשְׁלָבֹת. לָכֵן שָׁפַכְתִּי שִׂיחַ פְּנֵי בּוֹחֵן לִבּוֹת. בָּטוּחַ אֲנִי בָּאֵלֶּה וּבִזְכוּת שְׁלֹשֶׁת אָבוֹת:

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

I support myself with the thirteen attributes [of God], and rely on the gates of [penitent] tears, which are never joined, therfore, I have poured out my prayers, before Him, Who searches hearts. I trust in these, and in the merit of the three Patriarchs.

יְהִי רָצוֹן מִלְּפָנֶיךָ שׁוֹמֵעַ קוֹל בִּכְיוֹת. שֶׁתָּשִׂים דִּמְעוֹתֵינוּ בְּנֹאדְךָ לִהְיוֹת. וְתַצִּילֵנוּ מִכָּל גְּזֵרוֹת אַכְזָרִיּוֹת. כִּי לְךָ לְבַד עֵינֵינוּ תְלוּיוֹת:

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

May it be Your will, You Who hears the voice of weeping, that You place our tears in Your skin-flask [of tears] for preservation; and save us from all cruel decrees, for to You alone do our eyes focus.

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. זְכָר לָֽנוּ הַיּוֹם בְּרִית שְׁלשׁ עֶשְׂרֵה. כְּהוֹדַֽעְתָּ 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.

סְלַח לָֽנוּ אָבִֽינוּ כִּי חָטָֽאנוּ. מְחַל לָֽנוּ מַלְכֵּֽנוּ כִּי פָשָֽׁעְנוּ: כִּי אַתָּה אֲדֹנָי טוֹב וְסַלָּח וְרַב חֶֽסֶד לְכָל קֹרְאֶֽיךָ:

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

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.”

חָנֵּנוּ אֱלֹהִים כְּחַסְדֶּךָ כְּרֹב רַחֲמֶיךָ מְחֵה פְשָׁעֵנוּ: הֶרֶב כַּבְּסֵנוּ מֵעֲוֹנֵנוּ וּמֵחַטָּאתֵנוּ טַהֲרֵנוּ: זִבְחֵי אֱלֹהִים רוּחַ נִשְׁבָּרָה לֵב נִשְׁבָּר וְנִדְכֶּה אֱלֹהִים לֹא תִבְזֶה: אָז תַּחְפֹּץ זִבְחֵי צֶדֶק עוֹלָה וְכָלִיל אָז יַעֲלוּ עַל מִזְבַּחֲךָ פָרִים: תִּתֵּן אֱמֶת לְיַעֲקֹב חֶסֶד לְאַבְרָהָם אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבַּעְתָּ לַאֲבֹתֵינוּ מִימֵי קֶדֶם:

כְּרַחֵם אָב עַל בָּנִים כֵּן תְּרַחֵם יְהֹוָה עָלֵֽינוּ: לַיהֹוָה הַיְשׁוּעָה, עַל עַמְּךָ בִרְכָתֶֽךָ סֶּֽלָה: יְהֹוָה צְבָאוֹת עִמָּֽנוּ מִשְׂגָּב לָֽנוּ, אֱלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹב סֶֽלָה: יְהֹוָה צְבָאוֹת, אַשְׁרֵי אָדָם בֹּֽטֵֽחַ בָּךְ: יְהֹוָה הוֹשִֽׁיעָה, הַמֶּֽלֶךְ יַעֲנֵֽנוּ בְיוֹם קָרְאֵנוּ:

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

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.
