출애굽기 33:22의 Liturgy

I am awestruck as I begin to voice my prayer; as I rise to plead before the presence of Him Who is awesome and terrifying. I am deficient in [good] deeds, therefore I am in fear; wisdom I lack, how can I hope? My Creator! give me understanding— Your inheritance [Torah] to possess; strengthen me, and give me courage, from weakness and fear. Accept my prayer as the incense offering²The words כְּמַנְטִיף וּמַשְׁחִיל refer to two ingredients which are part of the קְטֹרֶת, incense offering, as stated in Shemos 30:34, נָטָף וּשְׁחֵלֶת, stacte and onycha. let my speech be as sweet as the honey-comb. Accept me as upright; and not as a hypocrite; [In behalf] of those who sent me— grant atonement and forgiveness. May my calling be sweet— not like the roar of a lion;³See Tehillim 91:13, עַל שַׁחַל וָפֶתֶן תִּדְרֹךְ, “You will tread upon lion and snake.” The word כְּמַשְׁחִיל in the Piyyut refers to שַׁחַל, lion. be receptive to those who approach You, crawling humble and lowly as a catepillar. Gracious One! as You promised the one [Moshe] in the cave—⁴See Shemos 33:22. listen to my cry as I begin my prayer. My insides are scorched as You search my foolish deeds; and from the dread of judgment, my soul is loathsome.⁵See Zecharyah 11:8. Should You repay my sin in full, my heart trembles; the fountains of my eyelids flow as streams. I yearn for Your righteousness and I hope; the righteousness of my fathers, remember, cause them to pray [in our behalf]. My heart grows hot when I pray— It is like a fiery coal;⁶The word יַגְחִיל is taken from the word גַחֶלֶת, coal. My soul is aroused as I begin to pray.
