You search all things and review them, and understand all my doings; if perchance, I have dealt falsely and acted deceitfully— please, do not investigate my iniquity, and do not examine my misdeeds. Adonoy! Hear my voice in the morning.
My Creator! With a span, He measures the heavens above; for You, I prepare a crown [with my prayers] offered to You in the third watch5The last watch which culminates at daybreak, the period most appropriate for prayer. [of night] during which You give ear to the entreaties of those who hope for Your deliverance. Send Your rebuke to the violent and rebellious [nations] who speak haughtily [of themselves] and say “There is none else but her.” And the Place where incense was offered, and the Holy of Holies and the Altar, with which the Kohanim served You, they [our enemies] have made a thoroughfare. May curses cling to them as the liver to the lobe, and may violent wrath, and every wound and sickness befall them. Adonoy! Hear my voice in the morning.
[Our] Rock, Your Name is Almighty of Vengeance, why do You appear as asleep? Year after year the vine which Your right hand planted is most oppressed and afflicted, it [Israel] is bought and sold; Your people are nick-named with degradation but in fact are not degraded. Your judgement is just, for no sentence is passed without justice. But take vengence for the [Torah of] faith which was given from Your right hand, and in which it is written: “Who can count.”6See Numbers 23:10, “Who can count the dust of Jacob.” Yet now we are counted like sheep; my Rock, be aroused, I beg You destroy our enemy from its base, and uproot its kingdom, God, Adonoy is my strength. Adonoy! Hear my voice in the morning.
Mighty One, Who is near to those who call Him and hears [the prayers of] the needy, judge the plight of the poor and needy, render judgement for the oppressed and persecuted. The fate of high and the low are in Your hands, Master of masters. Let my sentence come from You as a bright light, Almighty of faithfulness. The Almighty is not like man that He should lie, that He should change His word, yet You have decreed: “At the end of six years set free the [Hebrew] bondsman”;7See Exodus 21:2. and many times six years have gone by me although I have not loved my masters.8See Exodus 21. The servant could opt to remain in the service of his master if he loved him. And if I was sold to a heathen, and was not released after [six] years, the duty of ransom falls on the kinsman, and You are my Kinsman and Redeemer. Adonoy! Hear my voice in the morning.
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.

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.”
