Liturgy su Giobbe 9:37

We have forgotten Your goodness, and been mindless of Your great kindnesses; we have rebelled against Your word, and have turned away from Your laws. We have indulged in the vanities of this world, and to men of arrogance and deceit we have turned. We have been very foolish, we have loved evil more than good, and falsehood rather than speaking righteousness, we have sought impurity rather than purity, and the loathsome rather than the clean; we have exchanged the permanent [world] for the transitory. Day by day we rise early to sin, until our iniquities have mounted above our heads, and are more numerous than our hairs, and more powerful than the words of our mouth, and exceeded the steps of our feet, and surpassed the breathing of our nostrils. We have sunk into muddy depths, and there is no foothold; we have come into deep waters, and a whirlpool has swept us away.¹Psalms 69:3. Not You Adonoy, our God, have we harmed, but [only] ourselves, not You have we irritated but [only] ourselves; for when man sins, what effect has it on You? If his transgressions are numerous, what does it do to You? But woe to the sons of man who sin against You, and woe to their souls, for they bring evil upon themselves. Our God, we are too ashamed and disgraced, to lift our faces to You, our God;²Ezra 9:6. for we are like a repulsive vessel, thus are we disgraced in our own eyes. As a man immersed in a [muddy] ditch and soils his clothing;³Job 9:31. and as we were conceived in iniquity, so the shame of our faces have covered us.⁴Psalms 44:16.

As the likeness of Arcturus, Orion and Pleiades,¹⁶⁸These are names of heavenly constellations. (See Job 9:9.) from the [heavenly chambers] of the south, was the appearance of the High Priest.

Praise God. Slow to anger, greatly poweful,⁶Nachum 1:3. In light of Hashem’s great power, His propensity to withhold anger is even more stupendous (Rashi ibid.) He creates mountains with His strength.⁷Tehillim 65:7. Hashem brings forth dense mountains with His strength and subsequently prepares food on them (Rashi; ibid.). Wise and mighty,⁸Job 9:4. He gives strength to the weary [of his nation⁹Yeshaya 40:29. (See Rashi’s commentary ibid.)]. Therefore, will He be exalted¹⁰The term “יִתְגָאֶה” is based upon the verse in Shemos 15:1.; Our Master is great and of great power.¹¹Tehillim 147:5
