002 - FOR THE TENTH OF TEVET - לעשרה בטבת

SELICHOS

For with the L‑rd there is kindness, and with Him is abundant redemption.

O G‑d, redeem Israel from all its troubles.

And He will redeem Israel from all its iniquities.

As a father has compassion on his children, so, L‑rd, have compassion on us.

Salvation belongs to the L‑rd; may Your blessing be upon Your people forever.

The L‑rd of hosts is with us; the G‑d of Jacob is our stronghold forever.

L‑rd of hosts, happy is the man who trusts in You.

L‑rd, save us; may the King answer us on the day we call.

Pardon, please, the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of Your kindness, as You have forgiven this people from Egypt until now. And there it is said:

And the L‑rd said: I have pardoned, as you have asked.

Incline Your ear, my G‑d, and hear; open Your eyes and see our desolation and the city upon which Your Name is called. For it is not because of our righteousness that we lay our supplications before You, but because of Your abundant mercies. My L‑rd, hear! My L‑rd, forgive! My L‑rd, listen and act, do not delay, for Your own sake, my G‑d, for Your Name is called upon Your city and upon Your people.

Our G‑d and G‑d of our fathers:

I recall the distress that befell me: with three blows in this month He struck me; He cut me down, He thwarted me, He crushed me; but now He has utterly wearied me.

He extinguished me on the eighth of it, from left and from right; have I not fixed a fast for all three? The king of Greece compelled me to write the Greek law; plowmen plowed upon my back and drew long their furrows.

I was made the object of wrath on the ninth of it, with disgrace and shame; my robe of splendor and my crown were darkened from upon me; on it was torn away he who gave forth goodly words - Ezra the Scribe.

On the tenth day the son of Buzi, the seer, was commanded: "Write for yourself in the book

of the vision, as a remembrance for a people melted and despised, this very day."

The counting of the order of the months - on the tenth of it He roused the foe. I open my mouth wide in lament and wailing; the series of calamities burns within my heart, when the fugitive came to me, saying, "The city has been struck."

Over these I have strewn dust upon my face; I cried out over all four, as if I had shot an arrow into my heart. For the troubles of these I have dug myself a grave. The L‑rd is righteous, for I have rebelled against His word.

I have called upon Your Name, You who relent concerning my misfortune; see my affliction and hear the voice of my entreaty; hear my supplication, hasten my salvation; do not shut Your ear to my relief and to my cry.

In the month of Teves I was greatly stricken, and the order of its paths was changed against me. I have strayed and transgressed; may He reveal His goodness to me - He who says to the sea, "Thus far shall you come."

Almighty King, who sits on the throne of mercy and acts with kindness, who pardons the iniquities of His people.

He removes the sins one by one, grants abundant pardon to sinners and forgiveness to transgressors, deals charitably with all flesh and spirit, and does not repay them according to their evil. G‑d, You taught us to recite the Thirteen Attributes; remember for us today the covenant of the Thirteen Attributes,

as You made known to the humble one (Moshe) of old, as it is written: The L‑rd descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and he called out in the Name of the L‑rd.

The following, until unchaltanu, is recited only when praying with a minyan

And the L‑rd passed before him and proclaimed:

L‑rd, L‑rd, Almighty, merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in kindness and truth;

He preserves kindness for thousands of generations, forgives iniquity, transgression and sin, and He cleanses.

Pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us as Your own possession.

Gently strike the left side of your chest (over the heart) with a closed fist at the words

"we have sinned" and "we have transgressed"

Forgive us, our Father, for we have sinned; pardon us, our King, for we have transgressed.

For You, my L‑rd, are good and forgiving, and abounding in kindness to all who call upon You.

O G‑d, nations have entered Your inheritance; they have defiled Your holy Sanctuary; they have turned Jerusalem into heaps of ruins.

O G‑d, wanton men have risen against us, and a band of ruthless men have sought our life, and they have not set You before them.

As a father has compassion on his children, so, L‑rd, have compassion on us.

Salvation belongs to the L‑rd; may Your blessing be upon Your people forever.

The L‑rd of hosts is with us; the G‑d of Yaakov is our stronghold forever.

L‑rd of hosts, fortunate is the man who trusts in You.

L‑rd, save us; may the King answer us on the day we call.

Pardon, please, the iniquity of this people in keeping with the greatness of Your kindness, and as You have forgiven this people from Egypt until now. And there it is said:

And the L‑rd said: "I have pardoned, as you have asked."

Incline Your ear, my G‑d, and hear; open Your eyes and see our desolation and the city upon which Your Name is called. For it is not because of our righteousness that we lay our supplications before You, but because of Your abundant mercies.

My L‑rd, hear! My L‑rd, forgive! My L‑rd, listen and act, do not delay, for Your own sake, my G‑d, for Your Name is called upon Your city and upon Your people.

Our G‑d and G‑d of our fathers:

The cornerstone has become heaps of ruin and a plowed field, and the heirs of the heritage a byword, an object of head-shaking among the nations.

Within me is an aching heart, faint and sorrowful; we are left as though without a father, and we have become like orphans.

She who was tender and delicate, hedged about with roses, is now grieving, handed over into the hand of those who rise against her.

The faithful city has become like a widow, and the seed that none could count were sold for nothing.

She who was delicate and tender, who prospered to kingship - her affliction has lasted long, these many years and days.

The House of Yaakov is given over to plunder, to mockery and to insolence; the joyous city has become a place for planting vineyards.

She is drenched with a bitter cup at the hands of the unjust - she who was as acceptable as a burnt-offering and as the incense of spices.

She spurned and cast aside the Torah of the father who cast aside idolatry (Avraham), and so found no rest, by night or by day.

Awesome G‑d, Most High, may it be Your will to take up the cause of Zion, in the year of recompense.

Renew our days

as of old, G‑d who has been our dwelling place from time immemorial; make the red as white as wool, and the stains as snow.

Strengthen us in the fear of You and in the fulfillment of Your Torah, and remember us with Your salvation, King full of compassion.

Almighty King, who sits on the throne of mercy and acts with kindness.

He pardons the iniquities of His people.

He removes the sins one by one.

He grants abundant pardon to sinners and forgiveness to transgressors.

He deals charitably with all flesh and spirit.

He does not repay them according to their evil.

G‑d, You taught us to recite the Thirteen Attributes.

Remember for us today the covenant of the Thirteen Attributes,

as You made known to the humble one (Moshe) of old,

as it is written: The L‑rd descended in the cloud and stood with him there,

and he called out in the Name of the L‑rd.

The following, until unchaltanu, is recited only when praying with a minyan

And the L‑rd passed before him and proclaimed:

L‑rd, L‑rd, Almighty, merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in kindness and truth;

He preserves kindness for thousands of generations, forgives iniquity, transgression and sin, and He cleanses.

Pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us as Your own possession.

Gently strike the left side of your chest (over the heart) with a closed fist at the words

"we have sinned" and "we have transgressed"

Forgive us, our Father, for we have sinned; pardon us, our King, for we have transgressed.

For You, my L‑rd, are good and forgiving, and abounding in kindness to all who call upon You.

My fathers, because they trusted in the Name of the G‑d of my Rock, grew great and prospered and bore fruit too; but from the time they were led astray and walked contrary to Him, they went on dwindling until the tenth month.

On the tenth of the month the king of Babylon drew near and laid siege to the holy city; the chief captain came close; I was given over to be trampled and afflicted in chains, and every month my harp was turned to mourning.

My fathers, because they trusted in the Name of the G‑d of my Rock, grew great and prospered and bore fruit too; but from the time they were led astray and walked contrary to Him, they went on dwindling until the tenth month.

The first-fruit of the beginning became the beginning of the ban; she mentioned the name of other gods, and iniquity brought it about. She did not recognize the presence of G‑d, and was swept away in a flood; anguish as of a woman bearing her first child - now she rises up on high (in lament).

My fathers, because they trusted in the Name of the G‑d of my Rock, grew great and prospered and bore fruit too; but from the time they were led astray and walked contrary to Him, they went on dwindling until the tenth month.

G‑d brought a day of evil and siege; He commanded my foes around me to cut off my infants. On the day He made my heart faint, and there was no strength to hold back, He said to the prophet: "Speak a parable to the rebellious house."

My fathers, because they trusted in the Name of the G‑d of my Rock, grew great and prospered and bore fruit too; but from the time they were led astray and walked contrary to Him, they went on dwindling until the tenth month.

From those who sat in the gate He removed the mantle; His wrath burned like fire and He lifted off the crown; from the forest of Lebanon (the Beis Hamikdash) He cast down its glory; and a raging wind and storm makes the hair of my flesh bristle.

My fathers, because they trusted in the Name of the G‑d of my Rock, grew great and prospered and bore fruit too; but from the time they were led astray and walked contrary to Him, they went on dwindling until the tenth month.

You were likened to one most beautiful, and now you are darkened. For you stumbled in iniquity and your heart turned backward; they struck down your stragglers and you grew feeble, the first time and the second; and you were not bandaged, nor given a little balm.

My fathers, because they trusted in the Name of the G‑d of my Rock, grew great and prospered and bore fruit too; but from the time they were led astray and walked contrary to Him, they went on dwindling until the tenth month.

The Righteous One, the perfect Rock, grew weary of bearing iniquity; from the cherub to the threshold, to the corner of the roof He soared away, because of the indelible sin, and their outcry has come before Him; great is their evil, like a tree that bears fruit.

My fathers, because they trusted in the Name of the G‑d of my Rock, grew great and prospered and bore fruit too; but from the time they were led astray and walked contrary to Him, they went on dwindling until the tenth month.

He who weighs all deeds strengthened all who rose against me, for my days were filled with evil doings; and from the shame of my youth I forgot the kindnesses of Him who gives my bread and my water, my flax and my wool.

My fathers, because they trusted in the Name of the G‑d of my Rock, grew great and prospered and bore fruit too; but from the time they were led astray and walked contrary to Him, they went on dwindling until the tenth month.

My foes opened wide their mouths and swallowed up my inheritance; they grew very mighty over me, and drank and gulped down my blood; strangers besieged me and did evil to my brothers, those who say, "Raze it, raze it" — the sons of Seir the Horite.

My fathers, because they trusted in the Name of the G‑d of my Rock, grew great and prospered and bore fruit too; but from the time they were led astray and walked contrary to Him, they went on dwindling until the tenth month.

They said, "Come, let us destroy them and cause their memory to cease." Zealous and avenging G‑d, repay them, let them bear their ruin; pay them according to their deeds and let them be shamed in their hope, like the man who dreamed a dream of three baskets of white bread.

My fathers, because they trusted in the Name of the G‑d of my Rock, grew great and prospered and bore fruit too; but from the time they were led astray and walked contrary to Him, they went on dwindling until the tenth month.

My wounds have not been softened, and my bruises are crushing; my eye has grown dim, watching for my radiant Beloved. Has His wrath still not subsided, forever? Why has He done thus, and what is this great anger?

My fathers, because they trusted in the Name of the G‑d of my Rock, grew great and prospered and bore fruit too; but from the time they were led astray and walked contrary to Him, they went on dwindling until the tenth month.

Is this my G‑d, the Merciful One? Do not cast us off forever! The days of my mourning have grown long, and still my heart sighs. Return, O G‑d, to my tent, do not abandon Your place; bring to an end the days of my mourning, when You come to grant my reward.

My fathers, because they trusted in the Name of the G‑d of my Rock, grew great and prospered and bore fruit too; but from the time they were led astray and walked contrary to Him, they went on dwindling until the tenth month.

L‑rd, my allotted portion, hasten to my aid; loosen my sackcloth and gird me with joy; illuminate my darkness, lighting it up with Your light — the twilight I long for — for You are my lamp.

My fathers, because they trusted in the Name of the G‑d of my Rock, grew great and prospered and bore fruit too; but from the time they were led astray and walked contrary to Him, they went on dwindling until the tenth month.

From sorrow and sighing, O G‑d, redeem my soul; grant relief to Your people, my King and my Holy One; transform into relief the fast of the fifth month, and into joy and gladness the fast of the fourth month and the fast of the tenth.

My fathers, because they trusted in the Name of the G‑d of my Rock, grew great and prospered and bore fruit too; but from the time they were led astray and walked contrary to Him, they went on dwindling until the tenth month.

Almighty King, who sits on the throne of mercy and acts with kindness.

He pardons the iniquities of His people.

He removes the sins one by one.

He grants abundant pardon to sinners and forgiveness to transgressors.

He deals charitably with all flesh and spirit.

"we have sinned" and "we have transgressed"

Forgive us, our Father, for we have sinned; pardon us, our King, for we have transgressed.

For You, my L‑rd, are good and forgiving, and abounding in kindness to all who call upon You.

Remember Your mercies, L‑rd, and Your kindnesses, for they have existed forever.

Remember us, L‑rd, when You show favor to Your people; be mindful of us with Your deliverance.

Remember Your congregation which You acquired long ago, the tribe of Your inheritance which You redeemed, Mount Zion on which You dwelt.

Remember, L‑rd, the fondness of Jerusalem; never forget the love of Zion.

You will arise and have mercy on Zion, for it is time to be gracious to her; the appointed time has come.

Remember, L‑rd, against the children of Edom the day of Jerusalem, those who said, "Raze it, raze it, down to its very foundation!"

Remember Avraham, Yitzchak and Yisrael, Your servants, to whom You swore by Your own Self and said to them: "I will multiply your descendants like the stars of the heavens, and all this land of which I have spoken I will give to your descendants, and they shall inherit it forever."

Remember Your servants, Avraham, Yitzchak and Yaakov; do not turn to the stubbornness of this people, nor to its wickedness, nor to its sin.

Remember for us the covenant of the Patriarchs, as You have said: "I will remember My covenant with Yaakov, and also My covenant with Yitzchak, and also My covenant with Avraham will I remember, and I will remember the land."

Remember for us the covenant of the early generations, as You have said:

"I will remember for them the covenant of the early generations, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt before the eyes of the nations, to be their G‑d; I am the L‑rd."

Do with us as You have promised us: "Yet even so, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not despise them nor reject them to destroy them, to annul My covenant with them, for I am the L‑rd their G‑d."

Bring back our captivity and have mercy on us, as it is written: "The L‑rd your G‑d will bring back your captivity and have mercy on you; He will return and gather you from all the nations among whom the L‑rd your G‑d has scattered you."

Gather our dispersed, as it is written: "Even if your dispersed are at the ends of the heavens, from there the L‑rd your G‑d will gather you, and from there He will take you."

Wipe away our transgressions like a thick cloud and like a mist, as it is written: "I have wiped away your transgressions like a thick cloud, and your sins like a mist; return to Me, for I have redeemed you."

Wipe away our transgressions for Your sake, as You have said: "I, I am He who wipes away your transgressions for My sake, and your sins I will not remember."

Make our sins as white as snow and as wool, as it is written: "Come now, let us reason together, says the L‑rd; though your sins be like scarlet, they shall become white as snow; though they be red as crimson, they shall become like wool."

Sprinkle pure water upon us and purify us, as it is written: "I will sprinkle pure water upon you and you shall be pure; from all your impurities and from all your idols I will purify you."

Have mercy on us and do not destroy us, as it is written: "For the L‑rd your G‑d is a merciful G‑d; He will not abandon you nor destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which He swore to them."

Circumcise our hearts to love Your Name, as it is written: "The L‑rd your G‑d will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants, to love the L‑rd your G‑d with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live."

Be found by us when we seek You, as it is written: "From there you will seek the L‑rd your G‑d, and you will find Him, if you search for Him with all your heart and with all your soul."

Bring us to Your holy mountain and make us joyful in Your house

of prayer, as it is written: "I will bring them to My holy mountain and make them joyful in My house of prayer; their burnt-offerings and their sacrifices will be favorably accepted upon My altar, for My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations."

The ark is opened

Chazzan and then congregation recite the following 4 verses

Hear our voice, L‑rd our G‑d; spare us and have mercy on us, and accept our prayer with mercy and with favor.

Bring us back to You, L‑rd, and we will return; renew our days as of old.

Do not cast us away from Your presence, and do not take Your holy spirit from us.

Do not cast us off in old age; when our strength fails, do not forsake us.

Do not forsake us, L‑rd our G‑d; do not be far from us.

Show us a sign for good, that our enemies may see it and be ashamed, because You, L‑rd, have helped us and comforted us.

Give ear to our words, L‑rd; consider our meditation.

May the words of our mouth and the meditation of our heart be pleasing before You, L‑rd, our Rock and our Redeemer.

For in You, L‑rd, we have placed our hope; You will answer, my L‑rd our G‑d.

The ark is closed

Your righteous anointed one said before You: "Who can discern unwitting errors? Cleanse me of hidden faults."

Cleanse us, L‑rd our G‑d, of all our transgressions, purify us of all our impurities, and sprinkle pure water upon us and purify us, as it is written by the hand of Your prophet: "I will sprinkle pure water upon you and you shall be pure; from all your impurities and from all your idols I will purify you."

Your people and Your inheritance, hungry for Your goodness, thirsting for Your kindness, longing for Your salvation — may they recognize and know that to the L‑rd our G‑d belong mercy and forgiveness.

The L‑rd of hosts is with us; the G‑d of Jacob is our stronghold forever.

L‑rd of hosts, happy is the man who trusts in You.

Pardon, please, the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of Your kindness, as You have forgiven this people from Egypt until now. And there it is said:

And the L‑rd said: I have pardoned, as you have asked.

Incline Your ear, my G‑d, and hear; open Your eyes and see our desolation and the city upon which Your Name is called; for it is not because of our righteousness that we lay our supplications before You, but because of Your abundant mercy.

My L‑rd, hear; my L‑rd, forgive; my L‑rd, listen and act, do not delay, for Your own sake, my G‑d, for Your Name is called upon Your city and upon Your people.

Our G‑d and G‑d of our fathers:

I recall the distress that befell me: with three blows in this month He struck me; He cut me down, He thwarted me, He crushed me; but now He has utterly wearied me.

He extinguished me on the eighth of it, from left and from right; have I not fixed a fast for all three? The king of Greece compelled me to write the Greek law; plowmen plowed upon my back and drew long their furrows.

I was made the object of wrath on the ninth of it, with disgrace and shame; my robe of splendor and my crown were darkened from upon me; on it was torn away he who gave forth goodly words - Ezra the Scribe.

On the tenth day the son of Buzi, the seer, was commanded: "Write for yourself in the book

of the vision, as a remembrance for a people melted and despised, this very day."

The counting of the order of the months - on the tenth of it He roused the foe. I open my mouth wide in lament and wailing; the series of calamities burns within my heart, when the fugitive came to me, saying, "The city has been struck."

Over these I have strewn dust upon my face; I cried out over all four, as if I had shot an arrow into my heart. For the troubles of these I have dug myself a grave. The L‑rd is righteous, for I have rebelled against His word.

I have called upon Your Name, You who relent concerning my misfortune; see my affliction and hear the voice of my entreaty; hear my supplication, hasten my salvation; do not shut Your ear to my relief and to my cry.

In the month of Teves I was greatly stricken, and the order of its paths was changed against me. I have strayed and transgressed; may He reveal His goodness to me - He who says to the sea, "Thus far shall you come."

Almighty King, who sits on the throne of mercy and acts with kindness.

He pardons the iniquities of His people.

He removes the sins one by one.

He grants abundant pardon to sinners and forgiveness to transgressors.

He deals charitably with all flesh and spirit.

He does not repay them according to their evil.

G‑d, You taught us to recite the Thirteen Attributes.

Remember for us today the covenant of the Thirteen Attributes,

as You made known to the humble one (Moshe) of old,

as it is written: The L‑rd descended in the cloud and stood with him there.

and he called out in the Name of the L‑rd.

The following, until unchaltanu, is recited only when praying with a minyan

And the L‑rd passed before him and proclaimed:

L‑rd, L‑rd, benevolent G‑d, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in kindness and truth;

He preserves kindness for thousands of generations, forgives iniquity, transgression and sin, and He cleanses.

Pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us as Your own possession.

Gently strike the left side of your chest (over the heart) with a closed fist at the words

"we have sinned" and "we have transgressed"

Forgive us, our Father, for we have sinned; pardon us, our King, for we have transgressed.

For You, my L‑rd, are good and forgiving, and abounding in kindness to all who call upon You.

O G‑d, nations have entered Your inheritance; they have defiled Your holy Sanctuary; they have turned Jerusalem into heaps of rubble.

O G‑d, wanton men have risen against us, and a band of ruthless men have sought our life, and they have not set You before them.

As a father has compassion on his children, so, L‑rd, have compassion on us.

Salvation belongs to the L‑rd; may Your blessing be upon Your people forever.

The L‑rd of hosts is with us; the G‑d of Jacob is our stronghold forever.

L‑rd of hosts, happy is the man who trusts in You.

L‑rd, save us; may the King answer us on the day we call.

Pardon, please, the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of Your kindness, as You have forgiven this people from Egypt until now. And there it is said:

And the L‑rd said: I have pardoned, as you have asked.

Incline Your ear, my G‑d, and hear; open Your eyes and see our desolation and the city upon which Your Name is called; for it is not because of our righteousness that we lay our supplications before You, but because of Your abundant mercy.

My L‑rd, hear; my L‑rd, forgive; my L‑rd, listen and act, do not delay, for Your own sake, my G‑d, for Your Name is called upon Your city and upon Your people.

Our G‑d and G‑d of our fathers:

The cornerstone has become heaps of ruin and a plowed field, and the heirs of the heritage a byword, an object of head-shaking among the nations.

Within me is an aching heart, faint and sorrowful; we are left as though without a father, and we have become like orphans.

She who was tender and delicate, hedged about with roses, is now grieving, handed over into the hand of those who rise against her.

She has become like a widow, the faithful city; and the seed of him who counted them [Yaakov] has been sold for nothing.

She who was delicate and tender, who prospered to kingship - her affliction has lasted long, these many years and days.

The House of Yaakov is given over to plunder, to mockery and to insolence; the joyous city has become a place for planting vineyards.

She is drenched with a bitter cup at the hands of the unjust - she who was as acceptable as a burnt-offering and as the incense of spices.

She spurned and cast aside the Torah of the father who cast aside idolatry (Avraham), and so found no rest, by night or by day.

Awesome G‑d, Most High, may it be Your will to take up the cause of Zion, in the year of recompense.

Renew our days

As of old, O G‑d of old, be our refuge; and whiten the crimson like wool, and the stains like snow.

Strengthen us in the fear of You and in the fulfillment of Your Torah, and remember us with Your salvation, King full of compassion.

Almighty King, who sits on the throne of mercy and acts with kindness.

He pardons the iniquities of His people.

He removes the sins one by one.

He grants abundant pardon to sinners and forgiveness to transgressors.

He deals charitably with all flesh and spirit.

He does not repay them according to their evil.

For You, my L‑rd, are good and forgiving, and abounding in kindness to all who call upon You.

My fathers, because they trusted in the Name of the G‑d of my Rock, grew great and prospered and bore fruit too; but from the time they were led astray and walked contrary to Him, they went on dwindling until the tenth month.

On the tenth of the month the king of Babylon drew near and laid siege to the holy city; the chief captain came close; I was given over to be trampled and afflicted in chains, and every month my harp was turned to mourning.

My fathers, because they trusted in the Name of the G‑d of my Rock, grew great and prospered and bore fruit too; but from the time they were led astray and walked contrary to Him, they went on dwindling until the tenth month.

The first-fruit of the beginning became the beginning of the ban; she mentioned the name of other gods, and iniquity brought it about. She did not recognize the presence of G‑d, and was swept away in a flood; anguish as of a woman bearing her first child - now she rises up on high (in lament).

My fathers, because they trusted in the Name of the G‑d of my Rock, grew great and prospered and bore fruit too; but from the time they were led astray and walked contrary to Him, they went on dwindling until the tenth month.

G‑d brought a day of evil and siege; He commanded my foes around me to cut off my young children; on the day He softened my heart there was no strength to hold back, and He told the prophet, "Speak a parable to the rebellious house."

My fathers, because they trusted in the Name of the G‑d of my Rock, grew great and prospered and bore fruit too; but from the time they were led astray and walked contrary to Him, they went on dwindling until the tenth month.

From those who sat in the gate He removed the mantle; His wrath burned like fire and He lifted off the crown; from the forest of Lebanon (the Beis Hamikdash) He cast down its glory; and a raging wind and storm makes the hair of my flesh bristle.

My fathers, because they trusted in the Name of the G‑d of my Rock, grew great and prospered and bore fruit too; but from the time they were led astray and walked contrary to Him, they went on dwindling until the tenth month.

You were likened to a beauty, and now you are darkened in mourning, for you stumbled in iniquity and your heart turned backward. They cut down your stragglers and you grew weak, a first time and a second, and you were not bound up, nor given a little balm.

My fathers, because they trusted in the Name of the G‑d of my Rock, grew great and prospered and bore fruit too; but from the time they were led astray and walked contrary to Him, they went on dwindling until the tenth month.

The Righteous One, the perfect Rock, grew weary of bearing iniquity; from the cherub to the threshold, to the corner of the roof He soared away, because of the indelible sin, and their outcry has come before Him; great is their evil, like a tree that bears fruit.

My fathers, because they trusted in the Name of the G‑d of my Rock, grew great and prospered and bore fruit too; but from the time they were led astray and walked contrary to Him, they went on dwindling until the tenth month.

He who weighs all deeds strengthened all who rose against me, for my days were filled with evil deeds; and in the shame of my youth I forgot the benefits of Him who gives my bread and my water, my flax and my wool.

My fathers, because they trusted in the Name of the G‑d of my Rock, grew great and prospered and bore fruit too; but from the time they were led astray and walked contrary to Him, they went on dwindling until the tenth month.

My foes opened wide their mouths and swallowed my inheritance; they grew very strong against me, and drank and gulped down my blood. Strangers besieged me and did evil to my brothers - those who say, "Raze it, raze it!" - the sons of Seir the Horite.

My fathers, because they trusted in the Name of the G‑d of my Rock, grew great and prospered and bore fruit too; but from the time they were led astray and walked contrary to Him, they went on dwindling until the tenth month.

They said, "Come, let us destroy them and cause their remembrance to cease." Jealous and avenging G‑d, repay them, let them bear their ruin; requite them according to their deeds, and let them be shamed in their hope - like a man who dreams a dream of three baskets of white bread.

My fathers, because they trusted in the Name of the G‑d of my Rock, grew great and prospered and bore fruit too; but from the time they were led astray and walked contrary to Him, they went on dwindling until the tenth month.

My wound has not been softened and my bruises are murderous, and my eye has grown dim, looking out for my Beloved, the radiant One. Has His wrath not yet subsided, forever? Why has He done thus, and what is this fierce anger?

My fathers, because they trusted in the Name of the G‑d of my Rock, grew great and prospered and bore fruit too; but from the time they were led astray and walked contrary to Him, they went on dwindling until the tenth month.

Compassionate One, this is my G‑d: do not cast off forever! The days of my mourning have grown long, and still my heart sighs. Return, G‑d, to my tent; do not leave Your place. Bring an end to the days of my mourning, for You will come with my reward.

My fathers, because they trusted in the Name of the G‑d of my Rock, grew great and prospered and bore fruit too; but from the time they were led astray and walked contrary to Him, they went on dwindling until the tenth month.

L‑rd, my allotted portion, hasten to my aid; loosen my sackcloth and gird me with joy; illuminate my darkness, lighting it up with Your light — the twilight I long for — for You are my lamp.

My fathers, because they trusted in the Name of the G‑d of my Rock, grew great and prospered and bore fruit too; but from the time they were led astray and walked contrary to Him, they went on dwindling until the tenth month.

From sorrow and sighing, G‑d, redeem my soul; grant relief to Your people, my King and my Holy One. Turn into relief the fast of the fifth month, into gladness and joy the fast of the fourth and the fast of the tenth.

My fathers, because they trusted in the Name of the G‑d of my Rock, grew great and prospered and bore fruit too; but from the time they were led astray and walked contrary to Him, they went on dwindling until the tenth month.

Gently strike the left side of your chest (over the heart) with a closed fist at the words

"we have sinned" and "we have transgressed"

Forgive us, our Father, for we have sinned; pardon us, our King, for we have transgressed.

For You, my L‑rd, are good and forgiving, and abounding in kindness to all who call upon You.

Remember Your mercies, L‑rd, and Your kindnesses, for they have existed forever.

Remember us, L‑rd, when You show favor to Your people; recall us with Your salvation.

Remember Your congregation which You acquired long ago, the tribe of Your inheritance which You redeemed, this Mount Zion where You dwelt.

Remember, L‑rd, the affection of Jerusalem; never forget the love of Zion.

You will arise and have compassion on Zion, for it is time to be gracious to her; the appointed time has come.

Remember, L‑rd, against the children of Edom the day of Jerusalem, when they said: Raze it, raze it, down to its very foundation!

Remember Abraham, Isaac and Israel, Your servants, to whom You swore by Yourself and told them: I will multiply your descendants like the stars of the heavens, and all this land of which I have spoken I will give to your descendants, and they shall inherit it forever.

Remember Your servants Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; do not regard the stubbornness of this people, nor its wickedness, nor its sin.

Remember for us the covenant of the Patriarchs, as You said: I will remember My covenant with Jacob, and also My covenant with Isaac, and also My covenant with Abraham I will remember, and I will remember the land.

Remember for us the covenant of the early generations, as You have said:

"I will remember for them the covenant of the earlier generations, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt before the eyes of the nations, to be their G‑d; I am the L‑rd."

Deal with us as You promised us: And even so, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not despise them nor abhor them to destroy them, to annul My covenant with them, for I am the L‑rd their G‑d.

Bring back our captivity and have compassion on us, as it is written: The L‑rd your G‑d will bring back your captivity and have compassion on you, and He will again gather you from all the nations among which the L‑rd your G‑d has scattered you.

Gather our dispersed, as it is written: Even if your dispersed are at the ends of the heavens, from there the L‑rd your G‑d will gather you, and from there He will take you.

Wipe away our transgressions like a mist and like a cloud, as it is written: I have wiped away your transgressions like a mist, and your sins like a cloud; return to Me, for I have redeemed you.

Wipe away our transgressions for Your sake, as You said: I, I am He who wipes away your transgressions for My sake, and your sins I will not remember.

Make our sins white as snow and as wool, as it is written: Come now, let us reason together, says the L‑rd; if your sins be like scarlet, they shall become white as snow; if they be red as crimson, they shall become like wool.

Sprinkle pure water upon us and purify us, as it is written: I will sprinkle pure water upon you and you shall be pure; from all your impurities and from all your idols I will purify you.

Have mercy on us and do not destroy us, as it is written: For the L‑rd your G‑d is a merciful G‑d; He will not forsake you nor destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which He swore to them.

Open our heart to love Your Name, as it is written: The L‑rd your G‑d will open your heart and the heart of your descendants, to love the L‑rd your G‑d with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live.

Be found by us when we seek You, as it is written: From there you will seek the L‑rd your G‑d, and you will find Him, if you search for Him with all your heart and with all your soul.

Bring us to Your holy mountain and make us joyful in Your house

of prayer, as it is written: "I will bring them to My holy mountain and make them joyful in My house of prayer; their burnt-offerings and their sacrifices will be favorably accepted upon My altar, for My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations."

The Ark is opened

The chazzan and then the congregation recite the following four verses

Hear our voice, L‑rd our G‑d; have pity and mercy on us, and accept our prayer with mercy and favor.

Bring us back to You, L‑rd, and we will return; renew our days as of old.

Do not cast us away from Your presence, and do not take Your holy spirit from us.

Do not cast us off in old age; when our strength fails, do not forsake us.

Do not forsake us, L‑rd our G‑d; do not be far from us.

Show us a sign for good, so that those who hate us may see it and be ashamed, because You, L‑rd, have helped us and comforted us.

Give ear to our words, L‑rd; consider our meditation.

May the words of our mouth and the meditation of our heart be acceptable before You, L‑rd, our Rock and our Redeemer.

For in You, L‑rd, we have put our hope; You will answer, my L‑rd, our G‑d.

The Ark is closed

Your righteous anointed one said before You: Who can discern inadvertent errors? Cleanse me of hidden faults.

Cleanse us, L‑rd our G‑d, of all our transgressions, purify us of all our impurities, and sprinkle pure water upon us and purify us, as it is written by Your prophet: I will sprinkle pure water upon you and you shall be pure; from all your impurities and from all your idols I will purify you.

Your people and Your inheritance, hungry for Your goodness, thirsting for Your kindness, longing for Your salvation — let them recognize and know that mercy and forgiveness belong to the L‑rd our G‑d.
