אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ וֵאלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵֽינוּ

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

Our God, and God of our fathers!

אֶזְעַק אֶל־אֱלֹהִים קוֹלִי. בֹּקֶר אֶעֱרָךְ־לְךָ בְּעַד־קְהָלִי. יְהֹוָה צוּרִי וְגֹאֲלִי: גַּשְׁנוּ בְתַחֲנוּן וּבִתְפִלָּה. דְלָתֶיךָ שָׁקַדְנוּ רַב עֲלִילָה. הָסֵר מֵעָלֵינוּ נֶגַע וּמַחֲלָה:

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

I cry out to God with my voice, in the morning, I address my prayer to You, on behalf of my congregation; Adonoy, my Rock and my Redeemer! We approach You with supplication and prayer, we keep watch at Your door, O Mighty One in wondrous deeds, remove from us, plague and sickness.

הַמְצֵא־לָנוּ סְלִיחוֹת. וְהַעֲבֵר רָעָה מִנְּפָשׁוֹת הָאֲנוּחוֹת. אֵל אֱלֹהַי הָרוּחוֹת: זָעַקְתִּי־לְךָ בְּעִנּוּי וּתְלָאָה. חַיָּתִי פְּדֵה נָא מִשַּׁחַת וּשְׁאוֹלָה. קָרְבָה אֶל־נַפְשִׁי גְאָלָהּ:

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

Grant us pardon, and remove evil from grieving souls, Almighty God Who knows man’s thoughts; I cry to You in affliction and weariness, redeem my soul from destruction and the pit, draw near to my soul and redeem it.

טוֹב מִבֶּטֶן גֹּחִי. יוֹצְרִי וְשִׂבְרִי וּמִבְטָחִי. בְּיָדְךָ אַפְקִיד רוּחִי: כְּבֹשׁ־כַּעַסְךָ מִידִידֶיךָ. לִרְאוֹת־שַׁחַת אַל־תִּתֵּן חֲסִידֶיךָ. עֲנֵנִי יְהֹוָה כִּי־טוֹב חַסְדֶּךָ:

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

Beneficent One, Who drew me from the womb, my Creator, my hope and my trust, in Your hand I entrust my spirit; withhold Your anger from Your beloved ones, cause not Your devoted ones to see the pit, answer me Adonoy, for Your kindness is good.

מַכָּה בְּלִי־תְרוּפָה. נֶצַח לְחוֹרְפֶיךָ תִּשְׁלַח בְּהַקְצָפָה. וּבְעַמְּךָ לֹא לְמַגֵּפָה: סֻגַּפְנוּ בְּיוֹם זֶה. עֱנוּתֵנוּ לֹא־תְשַׁקֵּץ וְלֹא־תִבְזֶה. סְלַח־נָא לַעֲוֹן הָעָם הַזֶּה:

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

With an incurable, eternal blow, strike with anger those who blaspheme You, but do not plague Your people; we afflict ourselves this day, do not abhor nor despise our cry, pardon the iniquity of this people.

פָּשַׁעְנוּ וּמָעָלְנוּ. צוּר לְךָ חָבוֹל חָבָלְנוּ. לָכֵן כִּלִּינוּ בְאַפְּךָ, וּבַחֲמָתְךָ נִבְהָלְנוּ: קָדוֹשׁ, רִיב אַל־תִּמְתַּח. רְאֵה כִּי־כַפַּי לְךָ אֶשְׁטַח. יוֹם אִירָא אֲנִי אֵלֶיךָ אֶבְטָח:

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

We have transgressed and dealt treacherously, O Rock, we have been corrupt towards You. Therefore, we are consumed by Your anger and we are terrified by Your rage; Holy One! do not extend contention, behold, my hands are stretched out to You, on the day when I am afraid, I will put my trust in You.

שֶׁפֶךְ שִֹיחַ עַמֶּךָ. תָּחֹן וְתַעַן שְׁלֵמֶיךָ. אַל־תִּנְאַץ לְמַעַן שְׁמֶךָ: שְׁעֵה שַׁוְעַת אֲנוּנִים. לְקוֹרְאֶיךָ מִדֹּחַק הַסְכֵּת מִמְּעוֹנִים. שׁוֹמֵעַ אֶל אֶבְיוֹנִים:

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

Your people pour out their prayer, be merciful and answer Your faithful ones, do not abhor us for Your Name’s sake, turn to the cry of the suffering, to those who call You out of distress, hear them from the high heavens, You Who listens to the needy.

נְדִיבֵי עַם מַטַּע נַעֲמָנִים. הַחוֹסֶיךָ קֹוֶיךָ טְהוֹרֶיךָ נִמְנִים. מַהֵר תְּרַחֲמֵם, כְּרַחֵם אָב עַל־בָּנִים:

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

[Israel] the noblest among people, the pleasant offspring, they trust in You, they hope to You, they are counted among Your pure ones, quickly have mercy on them as a father has mercy on his children.

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.

עַל גַּבִֵּינוּ חָרְשׁוּ חֹרְשִׁים, הֶאֱרִיכוּ לְמַעֲנִיתָם: כִּי שָׁחָה לֶעָפָר נַפְשֵׁנוּ, דָּבְקָה לָאָרֶץ בִּטְנֵנוּ: יְהֹוָה מָה רַבּוּ צָרֵינוּ, רַבִּים קָמִים עָלֵינוּ: קוּמָה עֶזְרָתָה לָּנוּ, וּפְדֵנוּ לְמַעַן חַסְדֶּךָ:
