Send us Your light and Your truth, grant good fortune to those who believe in You, for You Adonoy are good and forgiving. Look on our afflicted souls, in Your goodness, take us to freedom, for the waters have reached our souls.
May our cries be heard, return our exiles to their dwellings, for we are strangers and sojourners. We knock at Your door constantly, we cling to You, to be joined, for we have been brought very low.
The insolent deride us in our plight, save us that we may thank You, our Rock, that You have delivered us from our tormentors. Your dispersed ones look to You for support, strengthen them in their fear of You, for this is the whole purpose of man.
The laws of the heathen peoples are vanity, but Your desired ones follow You longingly for You are gracious and merciful. Your Temple was turned into ruins, favor her with rebuilt walls, for Your kindness1In returning Your Shechinah to dwell among us. is better than life.
I am weary and in my affliction I pray: “May my oppressor be shamed and disgraced,” for Adonoy will do justice for the afflicted. The speech of my enemies lie heavy on me, they provoke me all the day, and thus my days are consumed in smoke.
May He pay them according to their deeds,2Israel’s. and thus teach His people a beneficial lesson, that He will not cast us off forever. May his Merciful One grant his desire, and remove his disgrace from him, for how good and how beautiful was he.3When he [Israel] lived on its own land.
My cities have become ruins, strangers have entered my gates, because I bore the disgrace4The sins. of my youth. “I will yet greatly rejoice in you,”5Isaiah 61:10. when You will say this to Your redeemed,6Israel. [they will say:] “For You have given me joy, Adonoy, with Your deeds.”
Mighty One! Awesome One! Revered One! cause our redemption now, because for Your sake, we are continually slain. Clear the crooked way [of impediments] that we may proclaim Your glorious praise— that Adonoy has redeemed Jacob.
May our enemies perish by excisement, look down on us from the mighty heavens, for our days on earth are a shadow. Bring near the time of my redemption, let my enemies hear [Your] voice [proclaim]: “That the day of Adonoy is near.”7Joel 1:15.
Exalted One, show Your arm, to Your beloved,8Israel. show a pleasant countenance, for though Adonoy is exalted, He still regards the lowly.9psalms 138:6. Hear the voice of my supplication, let my prayer ascend to Your dwelling, for Adonoy hears the cry of the needy.
Favor our prayer as a thanksgiving offering, say to Your people, “I will show you favor,” for the Torah shall go forth from Me. He will incline the scale [in our favor], He will garb and wrap Himself in strength, for He causes pain and brings healing.
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.
