Liturgy su Michea 7:78

On the first day of Rosh Hashana [or on the second day if the first day is Shabbos], after the Mincha Services, before sunset, it is customary to go to a body of water [the ocean, river, lake, etc.] but preferably one which contains fish, and recite the following prayers. The opening verses are taken from Micah 7:18-20 and they correspond to the thirteen Divine Attributes mentioned in Shemos 34:6,7. The closing verses are from Psalms 118:5-9 which correspond to the nine attributes mentioned in Bamidbar 14:18.

Adonoy, God of Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yisrael, our fathers, keep this forever as the intention of the hearts of Your people, and direct their hearts to You.⁷Divrei Hayamim I 29:18⁸May our recitation of the Kedushah inspire our thoughts and direct our hearts to serve You.—Avudraham And He, the merciful One, atones iniquity and does not destroy; He frequently withdraws His anger and does not arouse all His rage.⁹Tehillim 78:38 For You, my Master, are good and forgiving, and abounding in kindness to all who call upon You.¹⁰Tehillim 86:5 Your righteousness is everlasting and Your Torah is truth.¹¹Tehillim 119:142 You will grant truth to Yaakov kindliness to Avraham,¹²The patriarchs symbolize the three pillars of the universe—Torah, avodah,—the Temple service and gemilas chasadim—kindliness. Yaakov epitomized Torah, which is the ultimate truth; Yitzchak personified Divine service in his readiness to be offered as a sacrifice to Hashem; and Avraham exemplified the ideal and practice of kindliness throughout his life. We thus pray to be granted a share in the Divine truth of Torah in Yaakov’s merit, and to receive Hashem’s kindliness in Avraham’s merit. as You have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.¹³Michah 7:20 Blessed is my Master day by day; He loads us, [with blessings]¹⁴Etz Yosef interprets the verse in this manner: “Blessed is Adonoy who loads us each day with His blessings and goodness.” the Almighty Who is our deliverance, forever.¹⁵Tehillim 68:20 Adonoy of Hosts is with us a stronghold for us is the God of Yaakov, selah.¹⁶Tehillim 46:8 Adonoy of Hosts, fortunate is the man who trusts in You.¹⁷Tehillim 84:13 Adonoy, deliver [us]; the King will answer us on the day we call.¹⁸Tehillim 20:10 Blessed is He, our God, Who created us for His glory,¹⁹This phrase is based on Yeshaya 43:7 “Everything that is called by My Name, I have created it for My glory.” and set us apart from those who go astray;²⁰This prayer is based on Yehoshua 24:2, 3, “Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the river—and they served other gods. And I took your father Avraham from the other side of the river.” See Bereishis 20:13 as interpreted by Onkelos. and gave us the Torah of truth, and eternal life He implanted within us. May He open our heart to His Torah, and instill in our heart love and awe of Him, to do His will and serve Him with a perfect heart, so that we shall not labor in vain²¹Some women are barren; they cannot bear children at all. Others have children who are unable to live. Similarly, there are those who study Torah only to criticize and ridicule what they learn, while others learn sincerely but later rebel against its teachings. Those who study to ridicule are comparable to the barren women who are unable to give birth. But those who later rebel are like those who bear children and bury them. We pray to Hashem to instill His love and fear in our hearts so that our learning will bear fruit and have a lasting influence on our lives.—Siddur HaGra nor bring forth that which causes dismay.²¹Some women are barren; they cannot bear children at all.

In order that my soul sing to You and not be stilled; Adonoy, my God, forever will I thank You.²²Tehillim 30:13 Blessed is the man who trusts in Adonoy,²³He does not just put his trust in Hashem while relying also upon a great many other factors which he considers the essential supports of his life and happiness. Hashem alone is the source of his trust; he relies on none other than Hashem.—S.R. Hirsch so that Adonoy is his security.²⁴Yirmiyahu 17:7 Trust in Adonoy until the end of days, for in God, Adonoy, is the strength of the worlds.²⁵Yeshaya 26:4 They will trust in You— those who know²⁶These are men of the highest caliber who perceive Hashem’s ways with undistorted clarity. They discern Hashem’s hand guiding the world in its constant, miraculous operation and they know with certainty that all is directed by Hashem.—Malbim your Name for You have never forsaken those who seek You, Adonoy.²⁷Tehillim 9:11 Adonoy desired, for the sake of His righteousness, to make the Torah great and to glorify it.²⁸Yeshaya 42:21

Master of the Universe! just as our father, Abraham suppressed his compassion to do Your will with his whole heart, so may your compassion suppress your anger against us; and may your compassion prevail over your [other] attributes.¹²This refers to God’s attribute of stern justice. Act with us Adonoy, our God, kindly and with compassion. In your great goodness turn away your fierce anger from your people, and from your city, from your land and from your territorial heritage. Fulfill for us, Adonoy, our God, the promise you made in your Torah, through your servant, Moses, as it says, I will recall my covenant with Jacob, also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I recall; and I will recall the land.¹³Leviticus 26:42. And it is said: "And even then when they are in the land of their enemies I will not abhor them nor sparn them to destroy them— to annul my covenant with them; for I am Adonoy, their God."¹⁴Leviticus 26:44. And it is said: And I will recall for them the covenant with their ancestors whom I took out from the land of Egypt before the eyes of the nations, to be their God, I am Adonoy.¹⁵Leviticus 26:45. And it is said: "And Adonoy, Your God, will return your exiles and have compassion upon you, and will again gather you from [among] all the nations where Adonoy, your God, has scattered you. Even if your dispersed will be scattered to the ends of the world, from there Adonoy, your God, will gather you, and from there He will fetch you. And it is said: And Adonoy, your God will bring you into the land your forefathers inherited. And you will inherit it; And He will do good to you and multiply you more than your forefathers.¹⁶Deuteronomy 30:3-5. And it is said by Your prophets: Adonoy, be gracious to us, [for] we put our hope in You; be their strength every morning; also our deliverance in time of distress.¹⁷Isaiah 33:2. And it is said: It is a time of trouble for Jacob, but he will be delivered from it¹⁸Jeremiah 30:6. And it is said: In all their affliction, He is afflicted, and the angel of His Presence delivered them; in His love and in His pity, He redeemed them, and bore them and carried them forever.¹⁹Isaiah 63:9. and it is said: Who is an Almighty like You, forbearer of iniquity and forgiver of transgression for the remnant of his heritage? He does not maintain His wrath forever, for He desires to do kindness. He will again show us compassion, He will suppress our iniquities; And you will cast into the depths of the sea all their sins. You will grant truth to Jacob, kindliness to Abraham as You swore to our fathers from the days of old.²⁰Micah 7:18-20. And it is said: And I will bring them to My holy moutain; and make them joyful in My House of Prayer; their burnt-offerings and sacrifices will be accepted with favor on My Altar, for My House will be called a House of Prayer for all peoples.²¹Isaiah 56:7.

You will give truth to Jacob, kindness to Abraham (Micah 7:20).

On Hoshana Rabba: You will give truth to Jacob, kindness to Abraham (Micah 7:20).

The precepts of the Lord are just, rejoicing the heart (Psalms 19:9). The voice of the Lord is majestic (Psalms 29:4). Peoples will praise You, O God; all peoples will praise You. (Psalms 67:4). Please, Mighty One, guard those that seek Your unity like the pupil of Your eye. You will give truth to Jacob, kindness to Abraham (Micah 7:20).

May it be Your will in front of You, Lord God, and God of our fathers - that in the merit of the third circle that we have encircled the platform on Your Simchat Torah, that hints to splendor, You will give us the merit to be from Your servants, about whom it is stated (Isaiah 49:3), "Israel, in whom I glory"; give us the merit to be occupied with Your holy Torah, the Torah of truth, and that all our objective be to seek the truth. And grace us, for the sake of the knowledge of the truth of the laws of the Torah. And give us the merit to distance ourselves from falsehood and untruth, and that all the corners to which we turn be for the matter of truth. And in the merit of the true Torah and in the merit of our father Jacob, peace be upon him, who is sealed with splendor, the trait of truth - and it is written (Micah 7:20), "You will give truth to Jacob" - that You will answer us and fulfill our request, and that Jerusalem will be called the city of truth. Therefore we hope to You, Lord our God to quickly see the splendor of Your power. (The next five verses begin with the Hebrew letters that spell out the word, splendor - TiFEReT:) May my song reach You, O Lord; grant me understanding according to Your word (Psalms 119:169). Make my feet firm through Your promise; do not let iniquity dominate me (Psalms 119:133). Happy is the man who finds refuge in You, whose mind is on the [pilgrim] highways (Psalms 84:6). Your mercies are great, O Lord; as is Your rule, preserve me (Psalms 119:156). My mouth shall utter the praise of the Lord, and all creatures shall bless His holy name forever and ever (Psalms 145:21). May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in front of You, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.

from the days of old.¹³Michah 7:20

Michah, Your servant, said before You, “Who is an Almighty [God] like You? Who bears iniquity and overlooks transgression of the remnant of His inheritance; Who does not retain His anger forever, for He delights in kindliness. He will again have compassion on us, He will subdue our iniquities, and cast into the depths of the sea, all their sins. And all the sins of Your people the House of Yisrael, You will cast into a place where they will never be remembered or counted and never recalled to mind. You will grant truth to Yaakov, kindliness to Avraham, As You have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.”¹³⁰Michah 7:18—20
