He, being merciful, forgives iniquity and does not destroy; time and again He turns away His anger, and does not arouse all His wrath. L‑rd, help us; may the King answer us on the day we call.

A Song of Ascents. Behold, bless the L‑rd, all you servants of the L‑rd who stand in the House of the L‑rd in the nights. Raise your hands in holiness and bless the L‑rd. May the L‑rd, Maker of heaven and earth, bless you from Zion. By day the L‑rd ordains His kindness, and at night His song is with me, a prayer to the G‑d of my life. The deliverance of the righteous is from the L‑rd; He is their strength in time of distress. The L‑rd helps them and rescues them; He rescues them from the wicked and delivers them, because they have put their trust in Him.

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

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

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

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

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

Exalted and hallowed be His great Name. (Amen) Throughout the world which He has created according to His will. May He establish His kingship, bring forth His redemption and hasten the coming of His Moshiach. (Amen) In your lifetime and in your days and in the lifetime of the entire House of Israel, speedily and soon, and say, Amen. (Amen)

May His great Name be blessed forever and to all eternity. Blessed and praised, glorified, exalted and extolled, honored, adored and lauded be the Name of the Holy One, blessed be He. (Amen) Beyond all the blessings, hymns, praises and consolations that are uttered in the world; and say, Amen. (Amen)

Bless the L‑rd who is blessed.

Blessed be the L‑rd who is blessed for all eternity.

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who by His word brings on the evenings, with wisdom opens the gates of heaven, with understanding changes the times and alternates the seasons, and arranges the stars in their watches in the sky according to His will. He creates day and night; He rolls away light before darkness and darkness before light; He causes day to pass and brings on night, and separates between day and night; the L‑rd of hosts is His Name. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who brings on the evenings. (Amen)

With everlasting love have You loved the House of Israel Your people. You have taught us Torah and mitzvos, statutes and laws. Therefore, L‑rd our G‑d, when we lie down and when we rise, we will speak of Your statutes and rejoice in the words of Your Torah and in Your mitzvos forever. For they are our life and the length of our days, and we will meditate on them day and night. May Your love never depart from us. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who loves His people Israel.

Hear, O Israel, the L‑rd is our G‑d, the L‑rd is One.

The verse Baruch Shem is said in an undertone

Blessed be the name of the glory of His kingdom forever and ever.

You shall love the L‑rd your G‑d with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might. And these words which I command you today shall be upon your heart. You shall teach them thoroughly to your children, and you shall speak of them when you sit in your house and when you walk on the way, when you lie down and when you rise. You shall bind them as a sign upon your hand, and they shall be as tefillin between your eyes. And you shall write them upon the doorposts of your house and upon your gates.

And it will come to pass, if you diligently obey My commandments which I command you this day, to love the L‑rd your G‑d and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul, I will give rain for your land at the proper time, the early rain and the late rain, and you will gather in your grain, your wine and your oil. And I will give grass in your field for your cattle, and you will eat and be sated. Take care lest your heart be lured away, and you turn aside and worship other gods and bow down to them. For then the L‑rd's wrath will flare up against you, and He will close the heavens so that there will be no rain and the earth will not yield its produce, and you will swiftly perish from the good land which the L‑rd gives you. Therefore, place these words of Mine upon your heart and upon your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be for tefillin between your eyes. You shall teach them to your children, to speak of them when you sit in your house and when you walk on the way, when you lie down and when you rise. And you shall inscribe them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates, so that your days and the days of your children may be multiplied on the land which the L‑rd swore to your fathers to give to them, as long as the heavens are above the earth.

The L‑rd spoke to Moses, saying: Speak to the children of Israel and tell them to make for themselves fringes on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and to attach a thread of blue on the fringe of each corner. They shall be to you as tzitzis, and you shall look upon them and remember all the commandments of the L‑rd and fulfill them, and you will not follow after your heart and after your eyes, which lead you astray. So that you may remember and fulfill all My commandments, and be holy to your G‑d. I am the L‑rd your G‑d who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your G‑d; I, the L‑rd, am your G‑d.

True and trustworthy is all this, and it is established with us that He is the L‑rd our G‑d and there is none besides Him, and that we, Israel, are His people. It is He who redeems us from the hand of kings, our King who delivers us from the grasp of all the tyrants; the G‑d who exacts payment for us from our oppressors and brings just retribution on all our mortal enemies; who does great things beyond comprehension, and wonders beyond number; who has kept our soul in life and has not let our feet falter; who led us upon the high places of our enemies and raised our strength over all our foes; the G‑d who wrought vengeance for us on Pharaoh, and signs and wonders in the land of the children of Ham; who in His wrath struck all the firstborn of Egypt and brought out His people Israel from among them to everlasting freedom; who led His children through the divided parts of the Sea of Reeds, and drowned their pursuers and their enemies in the depths. His children saw His might; they praised and gave thanks to His Name, and willingly accepted His kingship upon themselves. Moshe and the children of Israel raised their voices in song to You with great joy, and they all said:

Who is like You among the supernal beings, L‑rd! Who is like You, resplendent in holiness, awesome in praise, performing wonders! Your children beheld Your sovereignty as You split the sea before Moses. “This is my G‑d!” they exclaimed, and declared: The L‑rd shall reign forever and ever. And it is said: For the L‑rd has redeemed Jacob and delivered him from a power mightier than he. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who has redeemed Israel. (Amen)

Our Father, let us lie down in peace; our King, raise us up to a good life and peace. Improve us with Your good counsel, help us speedily for the sake of Your Name, and spread over us the shelter of Your peace. Shield us, and remove from us the enemy, pestilence, sword, famine and sorrow. Remove the adversary from before us and from behind us, shelter us in the shadow of Your wings, and guard our going out and our coming in for a good life and peace from now and for all time. For You, G‑d, are our guardian and our deliverer. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who guards His people Israel forever. (Amen)

Exalted and hallowed be His great Name. (Amen) Throughout the world which He has created according to His will. May He establish His kingship, bring forth His redemption and hasten the coming of His Moshiach. (Amen) In your lifetime and in your days and in the lifetime of the entire House of Israel, speedily and soon, and say, Amen. (Amen)

May His great Name be blessed forever and to all eternity. Blessed and praised, glorified, exalted and extolled, honored, adored and lauded be the Name of the Holy One, blessed be He. (Amen) Beyond all the blessings, hymns, praises and consolations that are uttered in the world; and say, Amen. (Amen)

My L‑rd, open my lips, and my mouth shall declare Your praise.

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d and G‑d of our fathers, G‑d of Abraham, G‑d of Isaac and G‑d of Jacob, the great, mighty and awesome G‑d, G‑d most high, who bestows bountiful kindness, who creates all things, who remembers the piety of the Patriarchs, and who, in love, brings a redeemer to their children's children, for the sake of His Name. O King, Helper, Savior and Shield. Blessed are You, L‑rd, Shield of Abraham.

You are mighty forever, my L‑rd; You revive the dead; You are powerful to save. (Summer: He causes the dew to descend. Winter: He causes the wind to blow and the rain to fall.) He sustains the living with loving-kindness, revives the dead with great mercy, supports the falling, heals the sick, releases the bound, and fulfills His trust to those who sleep in the dust. Who is like You, mighty One! And who can be compared to You, King, who brings death and restores life, and causes deliverance to spring forth! You are trustworthy to revive the dead. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who revives the dead.

You are holy and Your Name is holy, and holy beings praise You daily for all eternity. Blessed are You, L‑rd, the holy G‑d.

You graciously bestow knowledge upon man and teach mortals understanding. (You have graciously granted us knowledge of Your Torah and taught us to perform the statutes of Your will. You, L‑rd our G‑d, have distinguished between holy and mundane, between light and darkness, between Israel and the nations, between the seventh day and the six working days. Our Father, our King, begin for us the days that are approaching in peace, free of all sin, cleansed of all iniquity, and attached to fear of You; and) graciously grant us from You wisdom, understanding and knowledge. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who graciously grants knowledge.

Bring us back, our Father, to Your Torah; draw us near, our King, to Your service; and cause us to return to You in wholehearted repentance. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who desires repentance.

Forgive us, our Father, for we have sinned; pardon us, our King, for we have transgressed; for You are a good and forgiving G‑d. Blessed are You, L‑rd, gracious One who pardons abundantly.

Behold our affliction and wage our battle; redeem us speedily for the sake of Your Name, for You are a mighty redeeming G‑d. Blessed are You, L‑rd, Redeemer of Israel.

Heal us, O L‑rd, and we will be healed; help us and we will be saved, for You are our praise. Grant complete cure and healing to all our wounds, for You, G‑d, King, are a faithful and merciful healer. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who heals the sick of His people Israel.

Bless for us, L‑rd our G‑d, this year and all the varieties of its produce for good, and bestow (blessing Summer — dew and rain for a blessing Winter) upon the face of the earth. Satisfy us with Your goodness and bless our year like other good years, for blessing; for You are a good and beneficent G‑d who blesses the years. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who blesses the years.

Sound the great shofar for our freedom, raise a banner to gather our exiles, and gather us together from the four corners of the earth into our land. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who gathers the dispersed of His people Israel.

Restore our judges as in former times and our counselors as of old; remove from us sorrow and sighing; and reign over us, You alone, O L‑rd, with kindness and compassion, with righteousness and justice. Blessed are You, L‑rd, King who loves righteousness and justice.

Let there be no hope for informers, and may all the heretics and all the wicked instantly perish; may all the enemies of Your people be speedily cut off; and may You swiftly uproot, break, crush and subdue the reign of wickedness speedily in our days. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who breaks enemies and subdues the wicked.

May Your mercies be aroused, L‑rd our G‑d, upon the righteous, upon the pious, upon the elders of Your people, the House of Israel, upon the remnant of their sages, upon the righteous converts and upon us. Grant ample reward to all who truly trust in Your Name, and place our lot among them; may we never be put to shame, for we have put our trust in You. Blessed are You, L‑rd, the support and security of the righteous.

Return in mercy to Jerusalem Your city and dwell therein as You have promised; speedily establish therein the throne of David Your servant, and rebuild it, soon in our days, as an everlasting edifice. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who rebuilds Jerusalem.

Speedily cause the offspring of David Your servant to flourish, and increase his power by Your salvation, for we hope for Your salvation all day. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who causes the power of salvation to flourish.

Hear our voice, L‑rd our G‑d; merciful Father, have compassion upon us and accept our prayers in mercy and favor, for You are G‑d who hears prayers and supplications; do not turn us away empty-handed from Your presence, our King, for You hear the prayer of every mouth. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who hears prayer.

Look with favor, L‑rd our G‑d, on Your people Israel and pay heed to their prayer; restore the service to the inner sanctuary of Your House, and accept with love and favor Israel's fire-offerings and their prayer; and may the service of Your people Israel always find favor.

May our eyes behold Your return to Zion in mercy. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who restores His Divine Presence to Zion.

We thankfully acknowledge that You are the L‑rd our G‑d and the G‑d of our fathers forever. You are the strength of our life, the shield of our salvation, in every generation. We will give thanks to You and recount Your praise, for our lives which are committed into Your hand, for our souls which are entrusted to You, for Your miracles which are with us daily, and for Your wonders and favors at all times, evening, morning and noon. You are the Beneficent One, for Your mercies never cease; the Merciful One, for Your kindnesses never end; for we always place our hope in You.

And for all these, may Your Name, our King, be continually blessed, exalted and extolled forever and all time. And all living things shall forever thank You, and praise Your great Name eternally, for You are good. G‑d, You are our everlasting salvation and help, O benevolent G‑d. Blessed are You, L‑rd, Beneficent is Your Name, and to You it is fitting to offer thanks.

Bestow peace, goodness and blessing, life, graciousness, kindness and mercy, upon us and upon all Your people Israel. Bless us, our Father, all of us as one, with the light of Your countenance, for by the light of Your countenance You gave us, L‑rd our G‑d, the Torah of life and loving-kindness, righteousness, blessing, mercy, life and peace. May it be good in Your eyes to bless Your people Israel at all times and at every moment with Your peace. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who blesses His people Israel with peace.

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

My G‑d, guard my tongue from evil and my lips from speaking deceitfully. To those who curse me, let my soul be silent; and let my soul be like dust to all. Open my heart to Your Torah, and let my soul eagerly pursue Your commandments. And all who plot evil against me, speedily nullify their counsel and frustrate their plans. Let them be like chaff before the wind; let the angel of the L‑rd thrust them away. That Your beloved ones may be delivered, help with Your right hand and answer me. Do it for the sake of Your Name; do it for the sake of Your right hand; do it for the sake of Your Torah; do it for the sake of Your holiness. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable before You, L‑rd, my Strength and my Redeemer.

He who makes peace in His heavens, may He make peace for us and for all Israel; and say, Amen.

May it be Your will, L‑rd our G‑d and G‑d of our fathers, that the Beis Hamikdash be speedily rebuilt in our days, and grant us our portion in Your Torah.

Exalted and hallowed be His great Name. (Amen) Throughout the world which He has created according to His will. May He establish His kingship, bring forth His redemption and hasten the coming of His Moshiach. (Amen) In your lifetime and in your days and in the lifetime of the entire House of Israel, speedily and soon, and say, Amen. (Amen)

May His great Name be blessed forever and to all eternity. Blessed and praised, glorified, exalted and extolled, honored, adored and lauded be the Name of the Holy One, blessed be He. (Amen) Beyond all the blessings, hymns, praises and consolations that are uttered in the world; and say, Amen. (Amen)

May the prayers and supplications of the entire House of Israel be accepted before their Father in heaven; and say, Amen. (Amen)

May there be abundant peace from heaven, and a good life for us and for all Israel; and say, Amen. (Amen)

He who makes peace (During the Ten Days of Teshuvah: the peace) in His heavens, may He make peace for us and for all Israel; and say, Amen. (Amen)

1. How she sits alone, the city that was great with people! She has become like a widow; she who was great among the nations, a princess among the provinces, has become a tributary.

2. She weeps bitterly in the night, and her tears are on her cheek; she has no one to comfort her among all her lovers; all her friends have betrayed her, they have become her enemies.

3. Judah has gone into exile because of affliction and great servitude; she dwells among the nations, she has found no rest; all her pursuers overtook her within the narrow straits.

4. The roads of Zion mourn, for none come to the appointed festivals; all her gates are desolate, her priests sigh, her maidens are grieved, and she herself is in bitterness.

5. Her adversaries have become the head, her enemies are at ease, for the L‑rd has afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions; her young children have gone into captivity before the adversary.

6. And from the daughter of Zion all her splendor has departed; her princes have become like harts that find no pasture, and they have gone without strength before the pursuer.

7. Jerusalem remembers, in the days of her affliction and her wandering, all her treasures that she had from days of old; when her people fell into the hand of the adversary and none helped her, the adversaries saw her and mocked at her downfall.

8. Jerusalem has sinned grievously; therefore she has become an object of scorn; all who honored her despise her, for they have seen her disgrace; she herself sighs and turns away.

9. Her uncleanness is in her skirts; she did not consider her end; she has sunk astonishingly, with no one to comfort her. "See, L‑rd, my affliction, for the enemy has magnified himself!"

10. The adversary has spread out his hand upon all her treasures; for she has seen nations enter her Sanctuary, those of whom You commanded that they should not enter Your congregation.

11. All her people sigh, seeking bread; they have given their treasures for food to restore their life. "See, L‑rd, and behold, how I have become despised!"

12. "May it not befall you, all who pass along the road! Look and see if there is any pain like my pain, which has been dealt to me, with which the L‑rd has afflicted me on the day of His fierce anger.

13. From on high He sent fire into my bones, and it prevailed over them; He spread a net for my feet, He turned me back; He has made me desolate, faint all the day.

14. The yoke of my transgressions is bound up by His hand; they are knit together, they have come up upon my neck; He has made my strength fail; my L‑rd has delivered me into the hands of those against whom I cannot rise.

15. My L‑rd has trampled all my mighty men in my midst; He has proclaimed an appointed time against me to crush my young men; my L‑rd has trodden the virgin daughter of Judah as in a winepress.

16. For these things I weep; my eye, my eye runs down with water, for the comforter who would restore my soul is far from me; my children are desolate, for the enemy has prevailed."

17. Zion spreads out her hands; there is no one to comfort her; the L‑rd has commanded concerning Yaakov that those around him be his adversaries; Jerusalem has become an object of scorn among them.

18. "The L‑rd is righteous, for I have rebelled against His word. Hear now, all you peoples, and see my pain: my maidens and my young men have gone into captivity.

19. I called to my lovers, but they deceived me; my priests and my elders perished in the city, as they sought food for themselves to restore their life.

20. See, L‑rd, how I am in distress; my insides churn, my heart is turned over within me, for I have been very rebellious; outside the sword bereaves, inside it is like death.

21. They have heard that I sigh, with no one to comfort me; all my enemies have heard of my trouble and rejoiced that You have done it. Bring on the day You have proclaimed, and let them be like me!

22. Let all their wickedness come before You, and deal with them as You have dealt with me for all my transgressions; for my sighs are many and my heart is faint."

Eichah, Chapter 2

1. How my L‑rd in His anger has clouded over the daughter of Zion! He has cast down from heaven to earth the glory of Israel, and has not remembered His footstool on the day of His anger.

2. My L‑rd has swallowed up without pity all the dwellings of Yaakov; in His wrath He has torn down the strongholds of the daughter of Judah, He has brought them down to the ground; He has profaned the kingdom and its princes.

3. In fierce anger He has cut off all the strength of Israel; He has drawn back His right hand before the enemy, and He has burned in Yaakov like a flaming fire, consuming all around.

4. He has bent His bow like an enemy, His right hand poised like an adversary, and He has slain all that were pleasing to the eye; in the tent of the daughter of Zion He has poured out His fury like fire.

5. My L‑rd has become like an enemy; He has swallowed up Israel, He has swallowed up all her palaces, He has destroyed his strongholds, and He has increased in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation.

6. He has stripped His Tabernacle as a garden, He has destroyed His place of assembly; the L‑rd has caused festival and Shabbos to be forgotten in Zion, and in the indignation of His anger He has spurned king and priest.

7. My L‑rd has cast off His altar, He has abhorred His Sanctuary; He has delivered into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces; they raised a clamor in the House of the L‑rd as on a festival day.

8. The L‑rd resolved to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion; He stretched out a line, He did not withdraw His hand from swallowing up; He made rampart and wall to mourn; together they languish.

9. Her gates have sunk into the ground; He has destroyed and broken her bars; her king and her princes are among the nations, there is no Torah; her prophets, too, find no vision from the L‑rd.

10. The elders of the daughter of Zion sit on the ground in silence; they have cast dust upon their heads, they have girded themselves with sackcloth; the maidens of Jerusalem have bowed their heads to the ground.

11. My eyes are spent with tears, my insides churn, my liver is poured out on the ground, over the breaking of the daughter of my people, as infant and suckling faint in the streets of the city.

12. They say to their mothers, "Where is grain and wine?" as they faint like the wounded in the streets of the city, as their life ebbs away in their mothers' bosom.

13. What can I testify for you, to what can I liken you, O daughter of Jerusalem? What can I compare to you, that I may comfort you, O virgin daughter of Zion? For your breach is as vast as the sea; who can heal you?

14. Your prophets envisioned for you falsehood and folly, and they did not expose your iniquity to bring back your captivity; they envisioned for you false prophecies and enticements.

15. All who pass along the road clap their hands at you; they hiss and shake their heads at the daughter of Jerusalem: "Is this the city that was called the perfection of beauty, the joy of all the earth?"

16. All your enemies have opened their mouths against you; they hiss and gnash their teeth; they say, "We have swallowed her up! Indeed, this is the day we hoped for; we have found it, we have seen it."

17. The L‑rd has done what He planned; He has carried out His word which He decreed from days of old; He has torn down without pity; He has let the enemy rejoice over you, He has raised up the strength of your adversaries.

18. Their heart cried out to my L‑rd: "O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night; give yourself no respite, let the pupil of your eye not rest.

19. Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the watches; pour out your heart like water before the presence of my L‑rd; lift up your hands to Him for the life of your young children, who faint from hunger at the head of every street."

20. "See, L‑rd, and behold, to whom You have done this! Should women eat their own fruit, the children they have tended? Should priest and prophet be slain in the Sanctuary of my L‑rd?

21. Young and old lie on the ground in the streets; my maidens and my young men have fallen by the sword; You have slain them on the day of Your anger, You have slaughtered without pity.

22. You have summoned, as on a festival day, my terrors from all around; and on the day of the L‑rd's anger there was no survivor or remnant; those whom I tended and raised, my enemy has consumed."

Eichah, Chapter 3

1. I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of His wrath.

2. He has led me and made me walk in darkness and not in light.

3. Only against me does He turn His hand again and again, all the day.

4. He has worn away my flesh and my skin; He has broken my bones.

5. He has built up against me and surrounded me with bitterness and hardship.

6. He has set me in dark places, like those long dead.

7. He has walled me in so that I cannot go out; He has made my chains heavy.

8. Even when I cry out and plead, He shuts out my prayer.

9. He has walled up my ways with hewn stone; He has made my paths crooked.

10. He is to me a bear lying in wait, a lion in hiding.

11. He has turned aside my ways and torn me apart; He has made me desolate.

12. He has bent His bow and set me up as a target for the arrow.

13. He has shot into my innards the arrows of His quiver.

14. I have become a laughingstock to all my people, their song all the day.

15. He has filled me with bitterness; He has sated me with wormwood.

16. He has ground my teeth on gravel; He has pressed me down in ashes.

17. My soul has been cast far from peace; I have forgotten what good is.

18. And I said, "Gone is my strength, and my hope from the L‑rd."

19. Remember my affliction and my wandering, the wormwood and the gall.

20. My soul remembers them well and is bowed down within me.

21. This I recall to my heart; therefore I have hope:

22. The kindnesses of the L‑rd have surely not ended, for His mercies have not ceased.

23. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.

24. "The L‑rd is my portion," says my soul; "therefore I will hope in Him."

25. The L‑rd is good to those who hope in Him, to the soul that seeks Him.

26. It is good to hope silently for the salvation of the L‑rd.

27. It is good for a man to bear a yoke in his youth.

28. Let him sit alone and be silent, when He has laid it upon him.

29. Let him put his mouth in the dust; perhaps there is hope.

30. Let him offer his cheek to the one who strikes him; let him be filled with disgrace.

31. For my L‑rd will not cast off forever.

32. For though He causes grief, He will have compassion according to His abundant kindness.

33. For He does not willingly afflict or grieve the children of men.

34. To crush underfoot all the prisoners of the earth,

35. to turn aside a man's justice before the presence of the Most High,

36. to wrong a man in his cause — my L‑rd does not approve.

37. Who is it that spoke and it came to be, unless my L‑rd commanded it?

38. Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that evil and good come forth?

39. Why should a living man complain? Let each man complain of his own sins.

40. Let us search and examine our ways, and return to the L‑rd.

41. Let us lift up our hearts with our hands to G‑d in heaven.

42. We have transgressed and rebelled; You have not forgiven.

43. You have covered Yourself with anger and pursued us; You have slain without pity.

44. You have covered Yourself with a cloud, so that no prayer can pass through.

45. You have made us refuse and rejection in the midst of the peoples.

46. All our enemies have opened their mouths against us.

47. Terror and the pit have come upon us, devastation and ruin.

48. My eye runs down with streams of water over the breaking of the daughter of my people.

49. My eye flows and does not cease, without respite,

50. until the L‑rd looks down and sees from heaven.

51. My eye has brought grief to my soul, because of all the daughters of my city.

52. My enemies have hunted me like a bird, without cause.

53. They have cut off my life in the pit, and cast stones upon me.

54. Waters flowed over my head; I said, "I am cut off."

55. I called upon Your Name, L‑rd, from the lowest pit.

56. You heard my voice; do not close Your ear to my sighing, to my cry.

57. You drew near on the day I called You; You said, "Do not fear."

58. You have championed, my L‑rd, the causes of my soul; You have redeemed my life.

59. You have seen, L‑rd, the wrong done to me; judge my cause!

60. You have seen all their vengeance, all their schemes against me.

61. You have heard their taunts, L‑rd, all their schemes against me,

62. the lips of those who rise against me and their musings against me all the day.

63. Look at their sitting down and their rising up; I am their song.

64. Repay them their due, L‑rd, according to the work of their hands.

65. Give them hardness of heart; may Your curse be upon them.

66. Pursue them in anger and destroy them from beneath the heavens of the L‑rd.

Eichah, Chapter 4

1. How the gold has grown dim, how the finest gold has changed! The holy stones are scattered at the head of every street.

2. The precious children of Zion, valued as fine gold — how they are now regarded as earthen pitchers, the work of a potter's hands!

3. Even jackals draw out the breast and nurse their young; but the daughter of my people has become cruel, like the ostriches in the wilderness.

4. The tongue of the suckling cleaves to the roof of his mouth for thirst; young children ask for bread, and no one breaks it for them.

5. Those who ate delicacies are desolate in the streets; those who were reared in scarlet embrace dunghills.

6. The iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the sin of Sodom, which was overturned in a moment, with no hands laid upon her.

7. Her nobles were purer than snow, whiter than milk; their bodies were ruddier than coral, their form like sapphire.

8. Their appearance has become darker than soot; they are not recognized in the streets; their skin has shriveled on their bones, it has become dry as wood.

9. Better off were those slain by the sword than those slain by hunger, who waste away, pierced, for lack of the produce of the field.

10. The hands of compassionate women have cooked their own children; they became food for them in the breaking of the daughter of my people.

11. The L‑rd has spent His fury, He has poured out His fierce anger; He has kindled a fire in Zion, and it has consumed her foundations.

12. The kings of the earth did not believe, nor any of the inhabitants of the world, that adversary and enemy would enter the gates of Jerusalem.

13. It was for the sins of her prophets and the iniquities of her priests, who shed in her midst the blood of the righteous.

14. They wandered blind through the streets, defiled with blood, so that none could touch their garments.

15. "Away! Unclean!" they called to them, "Away, away, do not touch!" For they fled and wandered; it was said among the nations, "They shall not dwell here any longer."

16. The anger of the L‑rd has scattered them; He will no longer regard them; they showed no respect for the priests, nor favor to the elders.

17. Still our eyes fail, looking in vain for our help; in our watching we watched for a nation that could not save.

18. They hunted our steps so that we could not walk in our streets; our end drew near, our days were fulfilled, for our end had come.

19. Our pursuers were swifter than the eagles of the heavens; they chased us on the mountains, they lay in wait for us in the wilderness.

20. The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of the L‑rd, was caught in their pits — he of whom we said, "Under his shadow we shall live among the nations."

21. Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, who dwells in the land of Uz; to you, too, the cup shall pass; you shall become drunk and lay yourself bare.

22. Your iniquity is completed, O daughter of Zion; He will no longer exile you. He will punish your iniquity, O daughter of Edom; He will uncover your sins.

Eichah, Chapter 5

1. Remember, L‑rd, what has befallen us; look and see our disgrace.

2. Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers, our houses to aliens.

3. We have become orphans without a father; our mothers are like widows.

4. We drink our water for money; our wood comes to us at a price.

5. With a yoke on our necks we are pursued; we labor and are given no rest.

6. We stretched out a hand to Egypt, and to Assyria, to be satisfied with bread.

7. Our fathers sinned and are no more, and we bear their iniquities.

8. Slaves rule over us; there is none to deliver us from their hand.

9. At the peril of our lives we bring our bread, because of the sword of the wilderness.

10. Our skin is scorched like an oven because of the burning heat of famine.

11. They violated women in Zion, maidens in the cities of Judah.

12. Princes were hanged by their hand; the elders were shown no respect.

13. Young men bore the millstone, and youths stumbled under loads of wood.

14. The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their music.

15. The joy of our heart has ceased; our dancing has turned into mourning.

16. The crown of our head has fallen; woe to us, for we have sinned!

17. For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes are dimmed —

18. for Mount Zion, which lies desolate; foxes prowl upon it.

19. You, L‑rd, are enthroned forever; Your throne endures from generation to generation.

20. Why do You forget us forever, forsake us for so long?

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

22. Even though You have utterly rejected us, and have been exceedingly angry with us.

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

Remember, L‑rd, what has befallen us — alas!

Look and see our disgrace. Alas, what has befallen us!

Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers — alas!

our houses to aliens. Alas, what has befallen us!

We have become orphans without a father — alas!

our mothers lament in the month of Av. Alas, what has befallen us!

We drink our water for money — alas!

for we scorned the water-libation. Alas, what has befallen us!

With a yoke on our necks we are pursued — alas!

for we pursued baseless hatred. Alas, what has befallen us!

We stretched out a hand to Egypt — alas!

and Assyria hunted us like a hunter. Alas, what has befallen us!

Our fathers sinned and are no more — alas!

and we bear their iniquity. Alas, what has befallen us!

Slaves rule over us — alas!

for we did away with the freeing of slaves. Alas, what has befallen us!

At the peril of our lives we bring our bread — alas!

for we closed our hands to the poor. Alas, what has befallen us!

Our skin is scorched like an oven — alas!

for they exchanged their glory for disgrace. Alas, what has befallen us!

They violated women in Zion — alas!

for men defiled one another's wives and acted immorally. Alas, what has befallen us!

Princes were hanged by their hand — alas!

for they robbed and plundered what was taken from the poor. Alas, what has befallen us!

Young men bore the millstone — alas!

for they were found in the house of a harlot. Alas, what has befallen us!

The elders have ceased from the gate — alas!

for they perverted the judgment of the orphan and the widow. Alas, what has befallen us!

The joy of our heart has ceased — alas!

for our festival pilgrims are no more. Alas, what has befallen us!

The crown of our head has fallen — alas!

for our Beis Hamikdash was burned. Alas, what has befallen us!

For this our heart is faint — alas!

for the glory of the House of our desire has been taken away. Alas, what has befallen us!

For Mount Zion, which lies desolate — alas!

for the desolating abomination has been placed upon it. Alas, what has befallen us!

You, L‑rd, are enthroned forever; Your throne endures from generation to generation.

Why do You forget us forever, forsake us for so long?

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

Even though You have utterly rejected us, and have been exceedingly angry with us.

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

Kinah for the night of Tishah b'Av that falls on Motzaei Shabbos:

How, from the mouths of son and daughter, comes the utterance of many lamentations, in place of songs and gladness! And the pleasantness has ceased, at the departure of Shabbos.

Alas, for the decree was decreed, in fierce anger and wrath; His anger burned against us, and His fury blazed like a flame. And the pleasantness has ceased, at the departure of Shabbos.

Alas, for our houses were changed, and our maidens were violated, and our faces were altered and blackened like a pan. And the pleasantness has ceased, at the departure of Shabbos.

Alas, for they despoiled us, and cast down corpses among us; the precious children of Zion, who had been guarded like the apple of the eye. And the pleasantness has ceased, at the departure of Shabbos.

Alas, for the crown has fallen, and the rebellious shoulder has prevailed; the splendor of glory has ceased, the confined dwelling of affection. And the pleasantness has ceased, at the departure of Shabbos.

Alas, for the Menorah has been taken away, and the incense of pure frankincense; the precious hewn stone has been despised, and the land flowing [with milk and honey] has devoured [its inhabitants]. And the pleasantness has ceased, at the departure of Shabbos.

On this night my children weep and wail; on this night My holy House was destroyed and My palaces were burned. And all the House of Israel lament in my grief, and weep over the burning which the L‑rd has kindled.

On this night the afflicted, forsaken one wails bitterly, cut off while living from her father's house; she went out of His house and the door was closed, and went into captivity, devoured by every mouth, on the day she was sent away with a fire burning and consuming, a fire with coals, that went forth from the L‑rd.

On this night my children weep and wail; on this night My holy House was destroyed and My palaces were burned. And all the House of Israel lament in my grief, and weep over the burning which the L‑rd has kindled.

On this night the wheel turned round the guilt: my first and also my second House were destroyed. And still the wayward daughter has not been shown mercy. She was made to drink bitter waters and her belly swelled; she was sent away from His house, and the good was forgotten. Great is the hatred from the One who loved her; and like a living widowhood, like a forsaken wife. And Zion said: The L‑rd has forsaken me.

On this night my children weep and wail; on this night My holy House was destroyed and My palaces were burned. And all the House of Israel lament in my grief, and weep over the burning which the L‑rd has kindled.

On this night I am darkened, and the luminaries grew dark, for the destruction of my holy House and the cessation of the priestly watches. On this night troubles surrounded and encompassed me; and He proclaimed an appointed time, with the judgment of five decrees. They wept a needless weeping, and it was fixed for generations, because it was a cause brought about by the L‑rd.

On this night my children weep and wail; on this night My holy House was destroyed and My palaces were burned. And all the House of Israel lament in my grief, and weep over the burning which the L‑rd has kindled.

On this night five calamities befell. He decreed against the fathers when retribution broke loose. Troubles upon troubles and evils too clung to it; it was a day made ready for misfortunes to strike. The enemy took his stand and raised a voice of terror. Arise, for this is the day of which the L‑rd spoke.

On this night my children weep and wail; on this night My holy House was destroyed and My palaces were burned. And all the House of Israel lament in my grief, and weep over the burning which the L‑rd has kindled.

A dispute between the Ten Tribes (Shomron, Oholah) and Yehudah and Binyamin (Oholivah) over whose troubles are greater. The author's name is signed in the initial letters of the stanzas: Rabbeinu "Shlomo" ibn Gabirol.

Shomron gives voice: "My iniquities have found me out! My children have gone forth from me to another land!"

And Oholivah cries out: "My palaces are burned!" And Zion said: "The L‑rd has forsaken me!"

"Not for you, Oholivah, to reckon your affliction like my affliction! Would you liken your sickness to my breaking and my sickness?! I, Oholah, turned aside and betrayed in my stubbornness; my falsehood rose up against me and my rebellion testified against me. In a short span of days I paid my debt: Tiglath-pileser devoured my fruit, stripped off my treasures and carried away my ornaments, and led my captives off to Chalach and Chavor. Be still, Oholivah, and do not weep as I weep! Your years were long, but my years were not long!"

And Oholivah cries out: "My palaces are burned!" And Zion said: "The L‑rd has forsaken me!"

Oholivah replies: "I too was perverse, and like Oholah I betrayed the Companion of my youth. Be still, Oholah, for I remember my anguish! You wandered once, but I wandered many times. Behold, twice I was captured by the hand of the Chaldeans, and as a captive, afflicted, I went down to Babylon; and the Sanctuary in which I was honored was burned, and for seventy years I was remembered in Babylon. Then I returned once more to Zion and founded a Sanctuary; yet this time too I stood but a little while, until Edom took me and I nearly perished, and over all the lands my multitudes were scattered!"

And Oholivah cries out: "My palaces are burned!" And Zion said: "The L‑rd has forsaken me!"

You who have compassion on the poor, have compassion on their poverty, and see their desolation and the length of their exile! Do not be exceedingly wrathful; see their lowliness, and do not remember their iniquity and their folly forever! Heal now their brokenness and comfort their mourning, for You are their hope and You are their strength! Renew our days as the days of old, as You have said: "The L‑rd builds Jerusalem!"

How long will there be weeping in Zion and lamenting in Jerusalem? Have compassion on Zion and rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.

Then, through our sins the Sanctuary was destroyed, and through our iniquities the Temple was burned.

In the land that was joined together they bound on lamentation; and the host of heaven raised a lament.

The tribes of Yaakov too wept in bitterness; and even the constellations shed tears.

The banners of Yeshurun covered their heads; and Pleiades and Orion darkened their faces.

How long will there be weeping in Zion and lamenting in Jerusalem? Have compassion on Zion and rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.

The Patriarchs entreated, but G‑d did not hearken; the children cried out, but the Father did not answer.

The holy seed put on sackcloth; and the host of heaven, they too made sackcloth their covering.

The heights were terrified before the Lion (Leo), because our roaring did not ascend on high.

Maidens and young men too were slain; therefore the Maiden (Virgo) darkened her face.

How long will there be weeping in Zion and lamenting in Jerusalem? Have compassion on Zion and rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.

The Scales (Libra) turned about and sought supplication, because death was chosen by us over life.

The Scorpion (Scorpio) clothed itself in fear and trembling, because our Rock judged us with sword and with famine.

How long will there be weeping in Zion and lamenting in Jerusalem? Have compassion on Zion and rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.

Streams of water ran down tears like a torrent, because the sign of the Bow (Sagittarius) was not granted to us.

Waters flowed over our head; yet though the Bucket (Aquarius) was full, our palate was dry.

Compassionate women cooked their own children; and the constellation of the Fish (Pisces) hid its eyes.

How long will there be weeping in Zion and lamenting in Jerusalem? Have compassion on Zion and rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.

We forgot the Shabbos with wayward hearts; the Almighty forgot all our righteous deeds.

Be zealous for Zion with a great zeal; and illuminate the city once great with people with the light of Your radiance.

Have compassion on Zion as You have said, and establish it as You have spoken. Hasten salvation and speed the redemption, and return to Jerusalem in abundant mercy.

As it is written by Your prophet: Therefore, thus says the L‑rd: I have returned to Jerusalem with mercy; My House shall be built in it, says the L‑rd of hosts, and a measuring line shall be stretched out over Jerusalem.

And it is said: Proclaim further, saying: Thus says the L‑rd of hosts: My cities shall yet overflow with good; and the L‑rd will yet comfort Zion and will yet choose Jerusalem.

And it is said: For the L‑rd will comfort Zion; He will comfort all her ruins, and He will make her wilderness like Eden and her desert like the garden of the L‑rd; joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and the sound of song.

You, Holy One, are enthroned upon the praises of Israel.

And they call one to another and say: "Holy, holy, holy is the L‑rd of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory." And they receive permission one from another and say:

"Holy in the highest heavens, the abode of His Presence; holy upon the earth, the work of His might; holy forever and to all eternity,

is the L‑rd of hosts; the whole earth is full of the radiance of His glory."

Then a wind lifted me up, and I heard behind me a great roaring sound: "Blessed be the glory of the L‑rd from His place."

Then a wind lifted me up, and I heard behind me a great rushing sound of those who praise, saying: "Blessed be the glory of the L‑rd from the place of the abode of His Presence."

The L‑rd shall reign forever and ever.

The L‑rd, His kingship is established forever and to all eternity.

L‑rd, G‑d of Avraham, Yitzchak and Yisrael our fathers, keep this forever as the inclination of the thoughts of Your people's heart, and direct their heart toward You.

He, being compassionate, pardons iniquity and does not destroy; time and again He turns away His anger, and does not arouse all His wrath.

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

Your righteousness is everlasting righteousness, and Your Torah is truth.

Grant truth to Yaakov, kindness to Avraham, as You swore to our fathers from days of old.

Blessed is my L‑rd who day by day bears our burden; He is the G‑d of our salvation forever.

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

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

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

Blessed is He, our G‑d, who created us for His glory and set us apart from those who go astray.

And so may it be Your will, L‑rd our G‑d and G‑d of our fathers, that we observe Your statutes in this world, and be worthy to live and see and inherit goodness and blessing in the two eras of the days of Moshiach and the life of the World to Come.

So that my soul may sing to You and not be silent; L‑rd my G‑d, I will thank You forever.

Blessed is the man who trusts in the L‑rd, and the L‑rd will be his security.

Trust in the L‑rd forever and ever, for in G‑d the L‑rd is the strength of the worlds.

Those who know Your Name will trust in You, for You have not forsaken those who seek You, L‑rd.

The L‑rd desired, for the sake of His righteousness, to make the Torah great and glorious.

Exalted and hallowed be His great Name. (Amen) Throughout the world which He has created according to His will. May He establish His kingship, bring forth His redemption and hasten the coming of His Moshiach. (Amen) In your lifetime and in your days and in the lifetime of the entire House of Israel, speedily and soon, and say, Amen. (Amen)

May His great Name be blessed forever and to all eternity. Blessed and praised, glorified, exalted and extolled, honored, adored and lauded be the Name of the Holy One, blessed be He. (Amen) Beyond all the blessings, hymns, praises and consolations that are uttered in the world; and say, Amen. (Amen)

May there be abundant peace from heaven, and a good life for us and for all Israel; and say, Amen. (Amen)

He who makes peace (During the Ten Days of Teshuvah: the peace) in His heavens, may He make peace for us and for all Israel; and say, Amen. (Amen)

It is upon us to praise the Master of all, to ascribe greatness to the Creator of the beginning, that He has not made us like the nations of the lands, nor set us like the families of the earth; that He has not made our portion like theirs, nor our lot like that of all their multitudes.

for they bow to vanity and nothingness.

But we bend the knee, bow down and offer praise before the Supreme King of kings, the Holy One, blessed be He,

who stretches forth the heavens and establishes the earth, the seat of whose glory is in the heavens above, and the abode of whose majesty is in the loftiest heights. He is our G‑d; there is none else.

Truly He is our King; there is nothing besides Him, as it is written in His Torah:

"Know this day and take unto your heart that the L‑rd is G‑d; in the heavens above and upon the earth below there is nothing else."

And therefore we hope to You, L‑rd our G‑d, that we may speedily behold the splendor of Your might, to banish idolatry from the earth, and the false gods will be utterly destroyed; to perfect the world under the sovereignty of the Almighty;

and all mankind shall invoke Your Name, to turn to You all the wicked of the earth.

Then all the inhabitants of the world will recognize and know that every knee should bend to You, every tongue should swear by Your Name.

Before You, L‑rd our G‑d, they will bow and fall prostrate, and give honor to the glory of Your Name; and they will all accept upon themselves the yoke of Your kingship, and You will reign over them soon, forever and ever. For the kingship is Yours, and to all eternity

You will reign in glory, as it is written in Your Torah:

"The L‑rd will reign forever and ever."

And it is said: "The L‑rd shall be King over the whole earth; on that day the L‑rd shall be One and His Name One."

Yisgadal v'yiskadash sh'mayh rabo. (Omayn)

Exalted and hallowed be His great Name. (Amen)

B'olmo di v'ro chir'usayh, v'yamlich malchusayh, v'yatzmach purkonayh vikorayv m'shichayh. (Omayn)

B'chayaychon uv'yomaychon uv'chayay d'chol bays Yisroayl, baagolo uviz'man koriv, v'imru omayn.

In your lifetime and in your days and in the lifetime of the entire House of Israel, speedily and soon, and say, Amen.

(Amen. May His great Name be blessed forever and to all eternity. Blessed.)

Do not fear sudden terror, nor the destruction of the wicked when it comes.

Contrive a scheme, but it will be foiled; conspire a plot, but it will not materialize, for G‑d is with us.

To your old age I am He, and to your hoary years I will sustain you; I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and deliver you.

Indeed, the righteous will extol Your Name; the upright will dwell in Your presence.

Mishnayos

(9) On Rosh Chodesh, on Chanukah and on Purim, [the women] chant together and clap their hands; on these and on those they do not wail responsively. Once the dead has been buried, they neither chant together nor clap. What is "chanting together"? When they all call out as one. A "lament"? When one speaks and all respond after her, as it is said (Yirmeyahu 9): "Teach your daughters wailing, and each woman her neighbor a lament." But of the Time to Come it says (Yeshayahu 25): "He will swallow up death forever, and my L‑rd G‑d will wipe away the tears from every face," etc.
