Selichot Edot HaMizrach
Our Father, our King, you are our Father. Our Father, our King, we have no King besides You. Our Father, our King, grace us and answer us, as we have no [good] deeds. Do charity and kindness with us for the sake of Your great name, and save us. And we do not know what we shall do, but our eyes are upon You. Remember Lord, Your kindnesses, for they are from forever. Let Your kindness, Lord, be upon us, as we have supplicated from You. Do not remember former iniquities against us – quickly let Your mercy precede us, for we are greatly impoverished. Help us in the name of the Lord, the Maker of the heavens and the earth. Grace us, Lord, Grace us, for we have been sated with much disgrace. In wrath, recall mercy. In wrath, recall the binding [of Isaac]. In wrath, recall innocence. In wrath, recall love. Lord save – the King that answers on the day we call. For You knew our inclinations – remember that we are dust. Help us – God of our salvation – for the sake of Your Name's honor. And save us and atone for our sins for the sake of Your Name.
