Master, when You call on man each morning [for judgment] do not press justice to its limits. If You combine body and soul [in judgment] they would be thrust down and be unable to rise.
Can man be innocent in judgement? Is he possessed of deeds to justify him? His birth stream is from a fetid drop, his enemy is hidden within him from the time of his birth.1Man.
Lurking within him as a snare to his feet, he entices him daily, to make him fall into the abyss [of sin]; there is no power or might in the body to stand firm and resist him.
From the day he attains perception, he puts his life in his hand to gain his bread, all his days are filled with vexation and grief; until he returns to his dust he is not at rest.
Mighty One! let Yourself be found by those who seek You, say: “Here I am,” to those who petition You let the tiding: “I have pardoned”— be told to those who call in Your Name, make righteous in judgment the people who proclaim Your Unity.
Muzzle the foul one [Satan] that he may not condemn us, rebuke the accuser that he not accuse us, stand up for us an upright advocate; “I have found atonement,” let the penitent hear.
In You we place our trust, let Your mercy come swiftly toward us; Strong and Mighty One, we have not forgotten Your Name, we beseech You, never forget us.
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.”

מִיּוֹם עָמְדוֹ עַל־דַּעְתּוֹ, נַפְשׁוֹ יָשִֹים בְּכַפּוֹ לְהָבִיא לַחְמוֹ: שָֹבֵעַ כָּל־יָמָיו כַּעַס וּמַכְאוֹבוֹת, עַד־שׁוּבוֹ לַעֲפָרוֹ לֹא־יִשְׁקֹט:

פְּנֵה אָדוֹן בְּעִצְבוֹן־רוּחַ, צְפֵה בְּשִׁבְרוֹן-לֵב: קָרוֹב אַתָּה לָרְחוֹקִים, רוֹצֶה תְּשׁוּבַת־רְשָׁעִים:
Regard O Master his sorrowful spirit, look at his broken heart, You are near to these who are afar, You desire the repentance of the wicked.
