Your people Israel set prayers [before You], for they are in distress and need deliverance; their adversaries add to the yoke [of exile], all this has befallen them, yet Your Name they bless.
Their illness and suffering is indescribable, they have been humiliated from their youth, and it has not been removed from them; Holy One, it is in Your hand to release the prisoner according to Your pure attribute [of mercy], unlike the attribute of man.
He is garbed in righteousness which adorns Him like a cloak [of royalty], from the wound itself, He prepares the cure; raise up Your congregation from its lowly fall with Your great strength and outstretched arm.
With Your love and compassion You uplifted and exalted [Your people Israel] [we beseech You therefore] to eradicate the counsel of the wicked and to annul their [evil] plans against us; inflict them with great turmoil, and let the cruel angel thrust them and throw them [into exile].
For the sake of Your honor, and Your holy Name, that is greatly extolled, perform awesome wonders [for us] lest [Your Name] be desecrated among nations; lead their advisors and men of power to total confusion, and do to them as they did to us.
Raise up the poor from the dust and the needy from the dunghills, Your community— let them not be destroyed and humiliated; if she has been casual regarding Your precepts and negligent [in their performance,] may all her transgressions be covered over by Your love.
They are most precious in Your Presence, Master of masters, regardless of their conduct they are called Your children. Let Your mercy go before them, God of the high and lowly before they are drowned in the wicked flood.
They desire Your nearness above all else, hasten for their sake to bring the deliverance that was prophesied. Holy One, let them be a sign of [Your] beneficence. Strong and mighty is their redeemer— Adonoy of Hosts.
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.”
Unto You, Adonoy, we lift up our souls. We lift our hearts with our hands to the Almighty in heaven. For Your sake, we are murdered all the day, we are considered as sheep for the slaughter. Be aroused! Why do You appear as asleep, my Master? Awaken, do not forsake us forever. Why do You conceal Your Presence, have You forgotten our suffering and our oppression? For our souls are bowed to the dust, our bowels cling to the earth. Arise—come to our aid and redeem us for the sake of Your kindness.
As a father has compassion on his children so do You have compassion on us, Adonoy. Deliverance is Adonoy’s; upon Your people is Your blessing. Selah! Adonoy of Hosts is with us, a stronghold for us is the God of Jacob. Selah! Adonoy of Hosts! fortunate is the man who trusts in You. Adonoy, deliver us; the King will answer us on the day we call.
“Please pardon the sins of this nation in accordance with the greatness of Your lovingkindness; and as You forgave this people from when it left Egypt until now.” And there it is said:
19
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהֹוָה סָלַֽחְתִּי כִּדְבָרֶֽךָ:
“And Adonoy said, I have pardoned [them] as you have asked.”
Incline Your ear, my God, and hear, open Your eyes and behold our desolate places, and the city which is called by Your Name; for it is not on account of our righteousness that we let fall our supplication before You, but because of Your great mercy. My Master, hear! My Master, pardon! My Master, listen and take action, do not delay! For Your sake, my God, because Your Name is proclaimed over Your city and over Your people.
