Tehillim, Chapter 97

1 The L‑rd reigns; let the earth exult; let the many islands rejoice.

2 Cloud and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.

3 Fire goes before Him and blazes round about His foes.

4 His lightnings illuminate the world; the earth sees and trembles.

5 The mountains melt like wax before the L‑rd, before the Master of all the earth.

6 The heavens declare His righteousness, and all the peoples behold His glory.

7 Ashamed are all who serve graven images, who boast of idols; bow down to Him, all you powers.

8 Zion heard and rejoiced, and the daughters of Judah exulted, because of Your judgments, L‑rd.

9 For You, L‑rd, are Most High over all the earth; You are greatly exalted above all powers.

10 You who love the L‑rd, hate evil; He guards the souls of His pious ones; He rescues them from the hand of the wicked.

11 Light is sown for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart.

12 Rejoice in the L‑rd, you righteous, and give thanks to the remembrance of His holiness.

Say three times softly

By the authority of the Omnipresent and by the authority of the congregation, in the court above and in the court below, we permit prayer with the transgressors.
Say three times

All vows, prohibitions, oaths, consecrations, konam-vows, penalties and substitute terms, which we may vow, swear, consecrate or prohibit upon ourselves, from this Day of Atonement until the next Day of Atonement, may it come to us for good — regarding all of them, we regret them. Let them all be permitted, abandoned, cancelled, null and void, without force and without validity. Our vows shall not be vows, our prohibitions shall not be prohibitions, and our oaths shall not be oaths.

Three times: And the whole congregation of the children of Israel shall be forgiven, as well as the stranger who sojourns among them, for all the people acted unintentionally.

Pardon, please, the iniquity of this people in accordance 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 according to your word."

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who has granted us life, sustained us, and enabled us to reach this occasion.
