מִ֤י מָנָה֙ עֲפַ֣ר יַעֲקֹ֔ב וּמִסְפָּ֖ר אֶת־רֹ֣בַע יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל תָּמֹ֤ת נַפְשִׁי֙ מ֣וֹת יְשָׁרִ֔ים וּתְהִ֥י אַחֲרִיתִ֖י כָּמֹֽהוּ׃
¿Quién contará el polvo de Jacob, O el número de la cuarta parte de Israel? Muera mi persona de la muerte de los rectos, Y mi postrimería sea como la suya.
Selichot Nusach Ashkenaz Lita
[Our] Rock, Your Name is Almighty of Vengeance, why do You appear as asleep? Year after year the vine which Your right hand planted is most oppressed and afflicted, it [Israel] is bought and sold; Your people are nick-named with degradation but in fact are not degraded. Your judgement is just, for no sentence is passed without justice. But take vengence for the [Torah of] faith which was given from Your right hand, and in which it is written: “Who can count.”6See Numbers 23:10, “Who can count the dust of Jacob.” Yet now we are counted like sheep; my Rock, be aroused, I beg You destroy our enemy from its base, and uproot its kingdom, God, Adonoy is my strength. Adonoy! Hear my voice in the morning.
