CONFESSION

Hebrew
אֱלֹהֵינוּ וֵאלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵינוּ.
תָּבֹא לְפָנֶיךָ תְּפִלָּתֵנוּ, וְאַל תִּתְעַלַּם מִתְּחִנָּתֵנוּ.
שֶׁאֵין אָנוּ עַזֵּי פָנִים וּקְשֵׁי עֹרֶף לוֹמַר לְפָנֶיךָ
יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ וֵאלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵינוּ, צַדִּיקִים אֲנַחְנוּ וְלֹא חָטָאנוּ.
אֲבָל אֲנַחְנוּ וַאֲבוֹתֵינוּ חָטָאנוּ.
Sephardi
Eloheinu veilohei avoteinu.
Tavo lefanecha tefilateinu, ve'al tit'alem mitchinateinu.
She'ein anu azei panim ukeshei oref lomar lefanecha
Adonai Eloheinu veilohei avoteinu, tzadikim anachnu velo chatanu.
Aval anachnu va'avoteinu chatanu.
English
Our God and God of our fathers, let our prayer come before You, and do not hide Yourself from our plea, for we are not so arrogant or obstinate as to say before You, LORD, our God and God of our fathers, we are righteous and have not sinned, for in truth, we and our fathers have sinned.
Strike the left side of the chest with the right fist while saying each of the sins.
Hebrew
אָשַׁמְנוּ, בָּגַדְנוּ, גָּזַלְנוּ, דִּבַּרְנוּ דֹפִי, הֶעֱוִינוּ, וְהִרְשַׁעְנוּ, זַדְנוּ, חָמַסְנוּ,
טָפַלְנוּ שֶׁקֶר. יָעַצְנוּ רָע, כִּזַּבְנוּ, לַצְנוּ, מָרַדְנוּ, נִאַצְנוּ, סָרַרְנוּ,
עָוִינוּ, פָּשַׁעְנוּ, צָרַרְנוּ, קִשִּׁינוּ עֹרֶף, רָשַׁעְנוּ, שִׁחַתְנוּ, תִּעַבְנוּ,
תָּעִינוּ, תִּעְתָּעְנוּ.

English
We have been guilty, we have acted treacherously, we have robbed, we have spoken slander. We have acted perversely, we have acted wickedly, we have acted presumptuously, we have been violent, we have framed lies. We have given bad advice, we have deceived, we have scorned, we have rebelled, we have provoked, we have turned away, we have committed iniquity, we have transgressed, we have persecuted, we have been obstinate. We have acted wickedly, we have corrupted, we have acted abominably, we have strayed, we have led others astray.
Neh. 9
Hebrew
סַרְנוּ מִמִּצְוֹתֶיךָ וּמִמִּשְׁפָּטֶיךָ הַטּוֹבִים, וְלֹא שָׁוָה לָנוּ. וְאַתָּה צַדִּיק עַל
כָּל־הַבָּא עָלֵינוּ, כִּי־אֱמֶת עָשִׂיתָ וַאֲנַחְנוּ הִרְשָׁעְנוּ:

Sarnu mimitzvotecha umimishpatecha hatovim, velo shavah lanu. Ve'atah tzadik al
kol-haba aleinu, ki-emet asita va'anachnu hirshanu:
English
We have turned away from Your commandments, and good laws, to no avail, for You are just in all that has befallen us, for You have acted faithfully while we have done wickedly.
Is. 55
Hebrew
הִרְשַׁעְנוּ וּפָשַׁעְנוּ לָכֵן לֹא נוֹשָׁעְנוּ. וְתֵן בְּלִבֵּנוּ לַעֲזֹב דֶּרֶךְ רֶשַׁע. וְחוּשׁ
לָנוּ יֶשַׁע, כַּכָּתוּב עַל יַד נְבִיאֶךָ: יַעֲזֹב רָשָׁע דַּרְכּוֹ וְאִישׁ אָוֶן מַחְשְׁבֹתָיו,
וְיָשֹׁב אֶל־יְהוָה וִירַחֲמֵהוּ וְאֶל־אֱלֹהֵינוּ כִּי־יַרְבֶּה לִסְלוֹחַ:

lanu yesha, kakatuv al yad nevi'echa: ya'azov rasha darko ve'ish aven machshevotav,
veyashov el-Adonai virachameihu ve'el-Eloheinu ki-yarbeh lislo'ach:
English
We have been wicked and we have done wrong, and so we have not been saved. Place it in our hearts to abandon the way of wickedness, and hasten our salvation, as is written by Your prophet, “Let each wicked person abandon his ways, each man of iniquity his thoughts, and let him come back to the LORD and He will have compassion for him; back to our God, for He will forgive abundantly.”
Ps. 19Ezek. 36
Hebrew
מְשִׁיחַ צִדְקְךָ אָמַר לְפָנֶיךָ: שְׁגִיאוֹת מִי־יָבִין, מִנִּסְתָּרוֹת נַקֵּנִי: נַקֵּנוּ יְהוָה
אֱלֹהֵינוּ מִכָּל פְּשָׁעֵינוּ וְטַהֲרֵנוּ מִכָּל טֻמְאוֹתֵינוּ וּזְרֹק עָלֵינוּ מַיִם טְהוֹרִים
וּטְהָרְנוּ, כַּכָּתוּב עַל יַד נְבִיאֶךָ: וְזָרַקְתִּי עֲלֵיכֶם מַיִם טְהוֹרִים וּטְהַרְתֶּם
מִכֹּל טֻמְאוֹתֵיכֶם וּמִכָּל־גִּלּוּלֵיכֶם אֲטַהֵר אֶתְכֶם: עַמְּךָ וְנַחֲלָתְךָ, רְעֵבֵי
טוּבֶךָ, צְמֵאֵי חַסְדֶּךָ, תְּאֵבֵי יִשְׁעֶךָ. יַכִּירוּ וְיֵדְעוּ, כִּי לַיהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ
הָרַחֲמִים וְהַסְּלִיחוֹת.

Meshiach tzidkecha amar lefanecha: shegi'ot mi-yavin, ministarot nakeini: nakeinu Adonai
Eloheinu mikol pesha'einu vetahareinu mikol tum'oteinu uzrok aleinu mayim tehorim
uteharenu, kakatuv al yad nevi'echa: vezarakti aleichem mayim tehorim utehartem

tuvecha, tzemei chasdecha, te'eivei yishecha. Yakiru veyeid'u, ki laadonai Eloheinu
harachamim vehaselichot.
English
Your righteous anointed one said to You, “Who can discern his own mistakes? Cleanse me of my hidden faults.” Cleanse us, LORD our God, of all our sins, and purify us of all our impurities and throw clear waters over us to purify us, as was written by Your prophet, “I shall throw clear waters over you and you shall be pure. I shall purify you of all your impurities and of all your idolatry.” Your people, Your inheritance, famished of Your good, thirsting for Your loving-kindness, craving Your salvation – they shall recognize and know that compassion and forgiveness belong to the LORD our God.
On days when Tahanun is not said (such as on the morning of a Brit Mila, or when a bridegroom is present), continue with Avinu Malkenu on page 148 followed by Half Kaddish (page 164).
