Almighty who is slow to anger

and full of compassion,

do not hide Your presence from us.

Adonoy, spare Your people¹ to be recited by latecomers to the synagogue, instead of the entire “Vehu Rachum”, so that they could pay attention to the reading of the Torah.

and save us from all evil.

We have sinned against You, Master,

forgive us, please,

Who is the true God,

Whose Torah is truth,

of goodness and truth.

In Him I put my trust

for goodness, for life, and for peace.

Holy is He.

Exalt Adonoy, Our God,
