Our God and God of our fathers,

let our prayer come before you

and do not ignore our supplication.

For we are not so brazen-faced

and stiff-necked

to say to you,

Adonoy, our God, and God of our fathers,

We are righteous and have not sined.

But, indeed, we and our fathers have sinned.

We have trespassed [against God and man, and we are devastated by our guilt];

We have betrayed [God and man, we have been ungrateful for the good done to us];

We have stolen; We have slandered.

We have caused others to sin;

We have caused others to commit sins for which they are called רְשָׁעִים, wicked;

We have sinned with malicious intent;

We have forcibly taken other's possessions even though we paid for them;

We have added falsehood upon falsehood; we have joined with evil individuals or groups.

We have given harmful advice;

We have deceived; We have mocked;

We have rebelled against God and His Torah;

We have caused God to be angry with us;

We have turned away from God's Torah;

We have sinned deliberately;

We have been negligent in our performance of the commandments;

We have caused our friends grief;

We have been stiff-necked, refusing to admit that the cause of our suffering is our own sins.

We have committed sins for which we are called רָשָׁע [raising a hand to hit someone].

We have committed sins which are the result of moral corruption;

We have committed sins which the Torah refers to as abominations;

We have gone astray;

We have led others astray.

We have turned away

from Your commandments

and from Your good laws,

and we have gained nothing from it.

And You are the Righteous One

in all [punishment] that has come upon us;

for You have acted truthfully

and we have acted wickedly.

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 kindness,

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 know

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 in the Name, Adonoy

And there it is said:

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.

And David said to Gad (II Samuel 24:14),

I am greatly distressed;

let us fall into the hand of Adonoy

for His mercies are great,

but into the hand of man let me not fall.

Merciful and gracious One,

I have sinned before You;

Adonoy, full of mercy,

have compassion upon me

and accept my supplications.

Adonoy, do not rebuke me with Your anger,

nor chastise me with Your rage.

Be gracious unto me, Adonoy,

for I am desolate,

heal me Adonoy, for my bones are terrified.

My soul, [too,] is utterly terrified,

and You Adonoy, how long?

Return Adonoy, free my soul,

deliver me

for the sake of Your lovingkindness.

For in death there is no mention of You;

in the lower world who will thank You.

I am worn out with my sighing,

every night I cause my bed to float;

with my tears, I melt my couch.

My eye is dimmed from anger,

it has aged because of my tormentors.

Depart from me, all you evildoers,

for Adonoy has heard

the voice of my weeping.

Adonoy has heard my supplication,

Adonoy will (also) accept my prayer.

Ashamed and utterly terrified

will all my foes be,

they will return

and be instantaneously ashamed.

Guardian of Israel,

guard the remnant of Israel,

and let not Israel perish,

who say, "Hear Israel."

Guardian of the unique nation,

guard the remnant of the unique people,

and let not the unique nation perish,

who proclaim the Oneness of Your Name,

[saying:] Adonoy is our God, Adonoy is One.

Guardian of the holy nation,

guard the remnant of the holy people

and let not the holy nation perish

who repeat the threefold sanctification

to the Holy One.

You Who are appeased by pleas for mercy,

and conciliated by supplications,

be appeased and conciliated

to an afflicted generation,

for there is none else to help.

Our Father, our King!

be gracious to us and answer us

for we have no [good] deeds,

deal with us charitably and kindly

and deliver us.

As for us, we know not what to do;

but our eyes are upon You.

Remember Your mercies, Adonoy,

and kindnesses

for

they are from the beginning of the world.

Adonoy! may Your kindness be upon us,

as we have waited for You.

Remember not the sins of our ancestors;

let Your mercy come swiftly toward us,

for we have been brought very low.

Help us for the Name of Adonoy

Creator of Heaven and earth.

Be gracious to us, Adonoy, be gracious to us

for we are saturated with humiliation.

[Even] in anger

remember to have compassion.

[Even] in anger

remember the binding of Isaac.

Even in anger

remember the uprightness of Jacob

Adonoy deliver [us]

the King will answer us on the day we call.

For He knows of what we are made;

He is mindful that we are but dust.

Help us, God of our deliverance,

for the sake of the glory of Your Name;

save us and atone our sins,

for the sake of Your Name.

Exalted and sanctified be His great Name

in the world which He created

according to His will

and may He rule His kingdom

bring forth His redemption

and hasten the coming of His Mashiach

in your lifetime and in your days,

and in the lifetime

of the entire House of Israel,

speedily and in the near future—

and say Amein.

May His great Name be blessed

forever and for all eternity.

Blessed and praised,

glorified, and exalted and uplifted,

honored and elevated and extolled

be the Name of the Holy One, blessed is He;

above (Ten Days of Penitence: far above)

all the blessings and hymns,

praises and consolations

which we utter in the world—and say Amein.

May there be acceptance

of the prayers and supplications

of the entire House of Israel

before their Father in heaven.

And say, Amein.

May there be abundant peace from heaven

and good life

for us and for all Israel,

—and say Amein.

He Who makes peace

(Ten Days of Penitence: the peace)

in His high heavens

may He, make peace

for us and for all Israel,

and say, Amein.
