Hebrew
עֲנֵנוּ יְהֹוָה עֲנֵנוּ בְּיוֹם צוֹם תַּעֲנִיתֵנוּ, כִּי בְצָרָה גְדוֹלָה אֲנָחְנוּ. אַל תֵּפֶן אֶל
רִשְׁעֵנוּ, וְאַל תַּסְתֵּר פָּנֶיךָ מִמֶּנּוּ, וְאַל תִּתְעַלַּם מִתְּחִנָּתֵנוּ. הֱיֵה נָא קָרוֹב
לְשַׁוְעָתֵנוּ, יְהִי נָא חַסְדְּךָ לְנַחֲמֵנוּ, טֶרֶם נִקְרָא אֵלֶיךָ עֲנֵנוּ, כַּדָּבָר שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר:
וְהָיָה טֶרֶם יִקְרָאוּ וַאֲנִי אֶעֱנֶה, עוֹד הֵם מְדַבְּרִים וַאֲנִי אֶשְׁמָע: כִּי אַתָּה יְהֹוָה
הָעוֹנֶה בְּעֵת צָרָה, פּוֹדֶה וּמַצִּיל בְּכָל עֵת צָרָה וְצוּקָה. בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהֹוָה,
הָעוֹנֶה לְעַמּוֹ יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּעֵת צָרָה.

Aneinu Adonai aneinu beyom tzom ta'aniteinu, ki vetzarah gedolah anachnu. Al teifen el
rish'einu, ve'al taster panecha mimenu, ve'al tit'alem mitechinatenu. Heyeh na karov
leshav'atenu, yehi na chasdecha lenachameinu, terem nikra elecha aneinu, kadavar shene'emar:
Vehayah terem yikre'u va'ani e'eneh, od heim medabrim va'ani eshma: ki atah Adonai
ha'oneh be'et tzarah, podeh umatzil bechol et tzarah vetzukah. Baruch atah Adonai,
ha'oneh le'amo Yisrael be'et tzarah.

Answer us, LORD, answer us on our Fast Day, for we are in great distress. Look not at our wickedness. Do not hide Your face from us and do not ignore our plea. Be near to our cry; please let Your loving-kindness comfort us. Even before we call to You, answer us, as is said, "Before they call, I will answer. While they are still speaking, I will hear." For You, LORD, are the One who answers in time of distress, redeems and rescues in all times of trouble and anguish. Blessed are You, LORD, who answers His people Israel in time of distress.
