For to You it is fitting [to offer]

Adonoy, our God, and God of our fathers,

(forever,)

song and praise, glorification and hymns,

[to proclaim your] strength and dominion,

victory, grandeur, and might,

praise and glory,

holiness and sovereignty,

blessings and thanksgivings,³

and from the highest world to the lowest

Blessed are You, Adonoy,

Out of the depths

I have called to You, Adonoy.

My Master, hear my voice;

let Your ears be attentive

to the voice of my supplications.

If You God should take account of iniquities,

my Master, who could survive?

For with You is forgiveness,

in order that You be feared.

I hope for Adonoy, my soul hopes;

and for His word, I wait.

My soul [waits] for my Master

more than the watchman [waits]

for the morning,

[more than] the watchman [waits]

for the morning.

Wait, Israel, upon Adonoy,

for with Adonoy there is loving-kindness,

and with Him there is much redemption.

And He will redeem Israel

from all its iniquities.

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 if His Messiah

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.
