קָדוֹשׁ נוֹרָא הוֹשִׁיעָה נָא, רַחוּם וְחַנּוּן הַצְלִיחָה נָא
שׁוֹכֵן שְׁחָקִים עֲנֵנוּ בְּיוֹם קָרְאֵנוּ.
תּוֹמֵךְ תְּמִימִים הוֹשִׁיעָה נָא, תַּקּוּף לָעַד הַצְלִיחָה נָא
תָּמִים בְּמַעֲשָׂיו עֲנֵנוּ בְּיוֹם קָרְאֵנוּ.

Kadosh nora hoshiah na, rachum vechanun hatzlichah na

Tamim bema'asav aneinu beyom karenu.

Holy and awesome, please save us. Compassionate and gracious, please grant us success. Dweller in the heavens, answer us on the day we cry. Supporter of the innocent, please save us. Eternally powerful, please grant us success. Perfect in His deeds, answer us on the day we cry.
