Hebrew
מִתְרַצֶּה בְּרַחֲמִים, וּמִתְפַּיֵּס
בְּתַחֲנוּנִים, הִתְרַצֵּה
וְהִתְפַּיֵּס לְדוֹר עָנִי, כִּי אֵין עוֹזֵר:
Sephardi
Mitrattzeh berachamim, u'mitpayyes
b'tachanunim, hitrattzeh
v'hitpayyes l'dor ani, ki ein ozer:
English
May You, God, Who is appeased with our requests for mercy and is calmed by our prayers, be appeased and calmed when dealing with this afflicted generation, because there is no one who can help us from our suffering besides You, God.
The additional prayers for Monday and Thursday end here.
On public fast days, Selichot are said at this point.
Between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur and on public fast days, say the long version of אֲבִינוּ מַלְכֵּנוּ, page 693, instead of the following paragraph.
Hebrew
אָבִינוּ מַלְכֵּנוּ אָבִינוּ אָתָּה. אָבִינוּ
מַלְכֵּנוּ אֵין לָנוּ מֶלֶךְ אֶלָּא
אָתָּה. אָבִינוּ מַלְכֵּנוּ רַחֵם עָלֵינוּ.
אָבִינוּ מַלְכֵּנוּ חָנֵּנוּ וַעֲנֵנוּ כִּי אֵין בָּנוּ
מַעֲשִׂים, עֲשֵׂה עִמָּנוּ צְדָקָה וָחֶסֶד
לְמַעַן שִׁמְךָ הַגָּדוֹל וְהוֹשִׁיעֵנוּ:
Sephardi
Avinu Malkeinu Avinu Atah. Avinu
Malkeinu ein lanu Melech ela
Atah. Avinu Malkeinu rachem aleinu.
Avinu Malkeinu chonenu va'aneinu ki ein banu
ma'asim, aseh imanu tzedakah vachesed
lema'an shimcha hagadol vehoshi'enu:
English
Our Father, our King, You are our Father. Our Father, our King, we have no King except for You. Our Father, our King, have mercy on us. Our Father, our King, be gracious to us and answer us, because we have no good deeds, and we do not deserve Your kindness. God, act righteously and kindly with us for the sake of Your great name, and save us from all our troubles.
On days when the Torah is not read, rise when you reach the words “מַה נַּעֲשֶׂה” below.
Hebrew
וַאֲנַחְנוּ לֹא נֵדַע מַה נַּעֲשֶׂה,<sup>1</sup>
כִּי עָלֶיךָ עֵינֵינוּ: זְכֹר
רַחֲמֶיךָ יְיָ וַחֲסָדֶיךָ, כִּי מֵעוֹלָם
הֵמָּה: יְהִי חַסְדְּךָ יְיָ עָלֵינוּ, כַּאֲשֶׁר
יִחַלְנוּ לָךְ: אַל תִּזְכָּר לָנוּ עֲוֹנוֹת
רִאשׁוֹנִים, מַהֵר יְקַדְּמוּנוּ רַחֲמֶיךָ,
כִּי דַלּוֹנוּ מְאֹד:<sup>2</sup> חָנֵּנוּ יְיָ חָנֵּנוּ, כִּי
רַב שָׂבַעְנוּ בוּז: בְּרֹגֶז רַחֵם תִּזְכּוֹר,
בְּרֹגֶז עֲקֵדָה תִּזְכּוֹר, בְּרֹגֶז תְּמִימוּת
תִּזְכּוֹר, בְּרֹגֶז אַהֲבָה תִּזְכּוֹר: יְיָ
הוֹשִׁיעָה, הַמֶּלֶךְ יַעֲנֵנוּ בְיוֹם קָרְאֵנוּ:
כִּי הוּא יָדַע יִצְרֵנוּ, זָכוּר כִּי עָפָר<sup>2</sup>
אֲנָחְנוּ: עָזְרֵנוּ אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׁעֵנוּ עַל דְּבַר
כְּבוֹד שְׁמֶךָ, וְהַצִּילֵנוּ וְכַפֵּר עַל
חַטֹּאתֵינוּ לְמַעַן שְׁמֶךָ:

English
We do not know what to do in order to be saved,<sup>1</sup> but our eyes are on You, God, hoping that You will save us. Lord, remember Your acts of mercy and Your acts of kindness, because they have always been done—You’ve always acted with mercy and kindness. Lord, may Your kindness be upon us, as much as we have placed our hope in You. God, do not bring to mind our past sins. Let Your mercy come quickly toward us and help us in difficult times, because we have become very weak and poor<sup>2</sup> and can’t survive any more suffering. Be gracious to us, Lord. Be gracious to us, because we have been filled with so much shame during exile. Even when You are angry, remember to have mercy on us, in the merit of Abraham, whose name has the same numerical value as the Hebrew word for mercy. When You are angry, remember the binding of Isaac. When You are angry, remember the pure faith of Jacob, who trusted in You even though he had many troubles. When You are angry, remember Your love toward us. Save us, Lord; may the King of the universe answer us on the day we call out to Him. For God knows that we have an evil inclination that leads us to sin; He knows our nature. He remembers that we are nothing more than the dust<sup>2</sup> from which our bodies were created. Help us, God of our salvation, for the sake of the honor it will bring to Your name; help us so that Your name will be honored. Rescue us and forgive our sins for the sake of Your name, so that everyone will recognize that You are a forgiving God.
The chazzan says Half Kaddish. For transliteration, see page 953.

Our God, Who is slow to get angry and has much kindness and truth, we ask that You do not punish us in Your anger. Lord, have pity on the Jewish Nation, Your people; save us from all bad. We have sinned against You, God, our Master. God, please forgive us according to Your great mercy; forgive us because You have much mercy.
