Son of man, why do you slumber? Arise, and call out in supplication. Pour out your prayer, and seek forgiveness from the Lord of lords. Wash and be clean, and do not delay, before the days have turned away. Make haste, and run for help before the One who dwells on high. From defiance and from wickedness flee, and be in dread of ruin. We pray You, turn to those who know Your name, the faithful ones of Israel. Yours, my Lord, is the righteousness, and ours the shame of face. Stand like a man, and summon your strength to confess your failings. Seek God, Yah, with an earnest heart, that He may pardon your defiance. For nothing, however hidden, is ever concealed from Him, and every word that is spoken is read out before Him. May the Merciful One have mercy on us, as a father has mercy on his children.

For Your own sake, my God, look with favor on a people that has sought You early, to plead before You as they stand at dawn. My Lord, give heed and act; do not delay.

For Your own sake, my God, draw up from the depths of the sea those who have had their fill of gall and wormwood in the house of their wandering and captivity. See their oppression and their affliction, and do not look to their rebellion; incline Your ear to their cry in the prayer of dawn. My Lord, give heed and act; do not delay.

For Your own sake, my God, show a sign for good, and be gracious to sorrowing souls that thirst for the waters of salvation. Gather the outcasts, scattered to every corner, whose skin, from all their hardships, has grown so dark. My Lord, give heed and act; do not delay.

For Your own sake, my God, let Your compassion be stirred, and from Your dwelling in the heavens hear the voice of Your people, who bear Your anger, Your wrath and Your fury; from bearing Your terrors their heart is reeling. My Lord, give heed and act; do not delay.

For Your own sake, my God, have mercy on Your poor; gladden them after their sorrow, and guide them by Your counsel. Show the wonder of Your kindnesses; spare, we pray, and have mercy on those You have carried from birth, from the womb of the dawn. My Lord, give heed and act; do not delay.

God, King who sits upon the throne of compassion and governs with loving-kindness; who pardons the wrongs of His people, setting them aside one by one; who grants pardon in abundance to those who err, and forgiveness to the defiant; who deals charitably with all flesh and spirit, and does not repay them as their evil deserves. God, You taught us to recite the thirteen attributes; remember for us today the covenant of the thirteen, as You made known to the humble one long ago; and so it is written in Your Torah:

And Adhonay came down in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of Adhonay. And Adhonay passed before him and proclaimed: Adhonay, Adhonay, God compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in loving-kindness and truth; keeping loving-kindness for thousands, forgiving wrongdoing, defiance and error, and cleansing.

Turn to the tears upon their faces, and gather in the straying flock; raise up a shepherd of Your own, and remember Your sheep for good.

הוֹלְכֵי בְּדֶרֶךְ נְכוֹחָה. תְּבַשְּׂרֵם הַיּוֹם סְלִיחָה. וּבִתְפִלַּת הַשַּׁחַר. הַמְצִיאֵם חִנֶּךָ׃

holĕkhe bĕdherekh nĕkhoḥa. tĕvassĕrem hayyom sĕliḥa. uvithfillath hashshaḥar. hamĕṣiʾem ḥinnekha.

To those who walk the upright way, bring tidings of forgiveness today; and in the prayer of dawn, let them find Your grace.

God, King who sits upon the throne of compassion and governs with loving-kindness; who pardons the wrongs of His people, setting them aside one by one; who grants pardon in abundance to those who err, and forgiveness to the defiant; who deals charitably with all flesh and spirit, and does not repay them as their evil deserves. God, You taught us to recite the thirteen attributes; remember for us today the covenant of the thirteen, as You made known to the humble one long ago; and so it is written in Your Torah:

וַיֵּ֤רֶד יְיָ֙ בֶּֽעָנָ֔ן וַיִּתְיַצֵּ֥ב עִמּ֖וֹ שָׁ֑ם וַיִּקְרָ֥א בְשֵׁ֖ם יְיָ׃ וַיַּעֲבֹ֨ר יְיָ֥ ׀ עַל־פָּנָיו֮ וַיִּקְרָא֒ יְיָ֣ ׀ יְיָ֔ אֵ֥ל רַח֖וּם וְחַנּ֑וּן אֶ֥רֶךְ אַפַּ֖יִם וְרַב־חֶ֥סֶד וֶאֱמֶֽת׃ נֹצֵ֥ר חֶ֙סֶד֙ לָאֲלָפִ֔ים נֹשֵׂ֥א עָוֺ֛ן וָפֶ֖שַׁע וְחַטָּאָ֑ה וְנַקֵּה֙

And Adhonay came down in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of Adhonay. And Adhonay passed before him and proclaimed: Adhonay, Adhonay, God compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in loving-kindness and truth; keeping loving-kindness for thousands, forgiving wrongdoing, defiance and error, and cleansing.

וְסָלַחְתָּ֛ לַעֲוֺנֵ֥נוּ וּלְחַטָּאתֵ֖נוּ וּנְחַלְתָּֽנוּ׃

wĕsalaḥta la'ăwonenu ulĕḥaṭṭaʾthenu unĕḥaltanu.

Forgive our wrongdoing and our failings, and take us as Your own inheritance.

בְּזָכְרִי עַל מִשְׁכָּבִי, זְדוֹן לִבִּי וַאֲשָׁמָיו. אָקוּמָה וְאָבוֹאָה, אֶל בֵּית אֱלֹהַי וַהֲדוֹמָיו. וָאֹמַר בְּנָשְׂאִי עַיִן, בְּתַחֲנוּנַי אֱלֵי שָׁמָיו. נִפְּלָה נָּא בְּיַד יְיָ כִּי רַבִּים רַחֲמָיו׃

When I recall upon my bed the willfulness of my heart and all its guilt, I will rise and come to the house of my God and to His footstool; and lifting my eyes, I say in my pleading toward His heavens: Let us fall, we pray, into the hand of Adhonay, for His compassion is great.

לְךָ אֵלִי צוּר חֵילִי, מְנוּסָתִי בְּצָרָתִי. בְּךָ שִׂבְרִי וְתִקְוָתִי, אֱיָלוּתִי בְּגָלוּתִי. לְךָ כָּל מִשְׁאֲלוֹת לִבִּי, וְנֶגְדְּךָ כָּל תַּאֲוָתִי. פְּדֵה עֶבֶד לְךָ צוֹעֵק, מִיַּד רוֹדָיו וְקָמָיו׃ נִפְּלָה נָּא בְּיַד יְיָ כִּי רַבִּים רַחֲמָיו׃

lĕkha ʾeli ṣur ḥeli, mĕnusathi bĕṣarathi. bĕkha sivri wĕthiqwathi, ʾĕyaluthi bĕghaluthi. lĕkha kol mishʾăloth libbi, wĕneghdĕkha kol taʾăwathi. pĕdheh 'evedh lĕkha ṣo'eq, miyyadh rodhaw wĕqamaw. nippĕla naʾ bĕyadh Adhonay ki rabbim raḥămaw.

To You, my God, Rock of my strength, I flee in my distress; in You are my hope and my trust, my strength in my exile. Yours are all the longings of my heart, and all my desire lies before You. Ransom the servant who cries out to You from the hand of those who rule him and rise against him. Let us fall, we pray, into the hand of Adhonay, for His compassion is great.

עֲנֵנִי יְיָ עֲנֵנִי, בְּקָרְאִי מִן הַמֵּצַר. וְיִוָּדַע בָּעַמִּים, כִּי יָדְךָ לֹא תִקְצַר. וְאַל תִּבְזֶה עֱנוּת עָנִי, צוֹעֵק מִתִּגְרַת צַר. אֲשֶׁר פְּשָׁעָיו לְךָ מוֹדֶה, וּמִתְוַדֶּה עַל עֲלוּמָיו׃ נִפְּלָה נָּא בְּיַד יְיָ כִּי רַבִּים רַחֲמָיו׃

'ăneni Adhonay 'ăneni, bĕqarĕʾi mīn hammeṣar. wĕyiwwadha' ba'ammim, ki yadhĕkha loʾ thiqṣar. wĕʾal tivzeh 'ĕnuth 'ani, ṣo'eq mittighrath ṣar. ʾăsher pĕsha'aw lĕkha modheh, umithwaddeh 'al 'ălumaw. nippĕla naʾ bĕyadh Adhonay ki rabbim raḥămaw.

Answer me, Adhonay, answer me, when I call out of my straits; and let it be known among the peoples that Your hand is not too short. Do not despise the suffering of the poor, who cries out under the blows of the foe; who owns his defiance before You, and confesses his hidden failings. Let us fall, we pray, into the hand of Adhonay, for His compassion is great.

מַה יִּתְאוֹנֵן וְיֹאמַר, מַה יְּדַבֵּר וְיִצְטַדָּק. יְצִיר חֹמֶר אֲשֶׁר תָּשׁוּב, גְּוִיָּתוֹ כְּאָבָק דַּק. מַה יִּתֵּן לְךָ הָאָדָם, כִּי יִרְשַׁע וְכִי יִצְדַּק. הֲלֹא מִלָּיו וּמִפְעָלָיו, כְּתוּבִים בְּסֵפֶר יָמָיו׃ נִפְּלָה נָּא בְּיַד יְיָ כִּי רַבִּים רַחֲמָיו׃

mah yithʾonen wĕyoʾmar, mah yĕdhabber wĕyiṣṭaddaq. yĕṣir ḥomer ʾăsher tashuv, gĕwiyyatho kĕʾavaq daq. mah yitten lĕkha haʾadham, ki yirsha' wĕkhi yiṣdaq. hăloʾ millaw umif'alaw, kĕthuvim bĕsefer yamaw. nippĕla naʾ bĕyadh Adhonay ki rabbim raḥămaw.

What complaint can he make, what can he say; how can he speak and clear himself — a thing formed of clay, whose body will turn back to fine dust? What can a man give You, whether he does wrong or does right? Are not his words and his deeds all written in the book of his days? Let us fall, we pray, into the hand of Adhonay, for His compassion is great.

חֲצוֹת לַיְלָה לְךָ קָמוּ, עֲבָדֶיךָ בְּמַהֲלָלָם. זְכוּת אָבוֹת לָהֶם תִּזְכֹּר, וְאַל תֵּפֶן לְמַעֲלָלָם. קְנֵה עֲדָתְךָ כִּימֵי קֶדֶם, קְדוֹשׁ יַעֲקֹב גֹּאֲלָם. וְהִנָּשֵׂא הָאֵל, עוֹשֶׂה הַשָּׁלוֹם בִּמְרוֹמָיו׃ נִפְּלָה נָּא בְּיַד יְיָ כִּי רַבִּים רַחֲמָיו׃

At midnight Your servants have risen to You with their praise; remember for them the merit of the forefathers, and do not look to their deeds. Make Your congregation Yours again, as in the days of old, O Holy One of Jacob, their Redeemer; and be exalted, God who makes peace in His heights. Let us fall, we pray, into the hand of Adhonay, for His compassion is great.

May you be answered, and your plea be granted, with compassion from heaven. May your cry be accepted; may your prayer be heard with favor, and the voice of your entreaty be answered; and may the verse be fulfilled in you, as it is written: May Adhonay, the God of your forefathers, add to you a thousand times as many as you are, and bless you, as He has promised you.

So may it be His will, and let us say: Amen.

May He who makes peace in His heights, in His compassion make peace for us and for all His people Israel; and say: Amen.
