The glory of the honored [Israel] has ceased, the eloquent spokesman is silenced. She dwells in depression, weak and feeble is she who was once a proud ruler. She who was protected like a delicate rose, sits in mourning, turned backwards; diminished and despondent are her Levites and Aharonites [Priests], and villagers.
The praiseworthy one has been vilified profaned as an unfaithful wife, cast aside like a niddah,2A woman in menstruation is prohibited from being intimate with her husband. impure as a metzorah.3A spiritual disease, often mistakenly interpreted as leprosy. Her crown and glory are profaned, her strongholds cut off, she is again dispersed in an uncultivated land.
Your flock—amid turmoil and anger— has been devoured by the unclean, he gnashes his teeth, he runs to swallow them— [to satisfy his] hunger and thirst. The powers of Your might [Oh God]— where and how will it become known? [Punish those] who offer incense to idols time and time again.
The long rule of the rebellious— why have You made it permanent? The degenerate rules over the prince, the evil one rules over the nobleman. His hope is on You, save him who is called by Your Name; be a help to him, a stronghold and a refuge.
Turn to the prayer of the supplicant, and accept his plea; overlook the stench of his sins, cleanse his stain as with nitre [soap] open the prison [exile], release the condemned, uplift and restore their name, let them remain for a life of goodness.
Smite those who torture us, strike them, excise them, crush them, arouse Your vengeance, sound the war-cry, shout like a warrior; the lost ones, the remote ones— yearn for them, collect them, assemble them, gather them, give them rest, uplift them, take them up from the pit.
Announce the deliverance [of Israel], establish the ramparts and walls [of Jerusalem] humble the haughty [nations], demote their arrogant leaders; those who trust in You— return them to Your Resting Place [Jerusalem] according to Your promise of consolation, [then] will the tyrants who rule them be clothed in disgrace and humiliation.
Almighty God, rescue Your servants, make Your loved ones successful, quickly bring near the time [of deliverance], send them [Your] redemption; pardon us our Father and forgive our sins, for You Adonoy are good and forgiving.
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.
