Hebrew
אַל תִּקְצֹף יְיָ עַד מְאֹד וְאַל לָעַד
תִּזְכֹּר עָו‍ֹן, הֵן הַבֵּט נָא עַמְּךָ
כֻּלָּנוּ: הַעַל אֵלֶּה תִּתְאַפַּק יְיָ,
תֶּחֱשֶׁה וּתְעַנֵּנוּ עַד מְאֹד: שׁוּבָה יְיָ
עַד מָתַי, וְהִנָּחֵם עַל עֲבָדֶיךָ:

English
Do not be exceedingly angry, Lord, and do not remember iniquity forever; look, please, we are all Your people: Will You restrain Yourself over these, Lord? Will You be silent and afflict us so greatly? Return, Lord—how long?—and relent concerning Your servants:
Hebrew
כְּרַחֵם אָב עַל בָּנִים, כֵּן תְּרַחֵם
יְיָ עָלֵינוּ: לַיְיָ הַיְשׁוּעָה,
עַל עַמְּךָ בִרְכָתֶךָ סֶּלָה: יְיָ צְבָאוֹת

As a father has compassion on children, so may You, Lord, have compassion on us: Salvation is the Lord's; upon Your people is Your blessing, Selah. Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is a stronghold for us, Selah. Lord of hosts, fortunate is the person who trusts in You. Lord, save! May the King answer us on the day we call:
Hebrew

Please forgive the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of Your kindness, and as You have borne this people from Egypt until now: And there it is said: And the Lord said, I have forgiven according to your word:

English
Incline Your ear, my God, and hear; open Your eyes and see our desolations, and the city upon which Your Name is called; for not upon our righteousness do we cast our supplications before You, but upon Your abundant mercies: Lord, hear; Lord, forgive; Lord, listen and act; do not delay, for Your own sake, my God, for Your Name is called upon Your city and upon Your people:

Waters have encompassed us up to the soul; we have come into the depths of the abyss; sea waves have passed over us; the breakers of the deep have covered us; our glory has been turned to destruction, and we still have not retained strength; we were terrified over our sins; we trembled over the multitude of our transgressions; we took counsel what to do—there is no counselor among us; we formed thoughts in the heart to lift understanding from afar; a tradition is in our hands from our fathers: the outcry of repentance and righteousness overturns evil decrees that still afflict a people; we declared with one agreement a fast of Monday and Thursday and Monday—O Holy One, perhaps He will look down; may His mercies precede the wrath,
Hebrew

Almighty, we have done what is ours; O Overpowering One, do what is Yours; do not bring us into judgment; from plague and from sword and from famine deliver us; may our soul be precious in Your eyes; Yah, forgive us, pardon us, atone for us, as on the day of Your descent in the cloud:

God, King Who sits upon the throne of mercy, and acts with lovingkindness, Who pardons the iniquities of His people, removing them one by one, Who abounds in forgiveness for sinners and pardon for transgressors, Who performs acts of righteousness with all flesh and spirit—not according to their wickedness does He requite them. God, You taught us to recite the Thirteen Attributes; remember for us today the covenant of the Thirteen Attributes, as You made known to the humble one of old, as it is written: And the Lord descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and He proclaimed the Name of the Lord:
The following, until וְנַחַלְתָּנוּ, is recited only when praying with a minyan.
Hebrew

English
And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed: Lord, Lord, God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and abundant in kindness and truth; Preserver of kindness for thousands, Forgiver of iniquity, willful sin, and error, and Who cleanses. And forgive our iniquity and our sin, and take us for Your inheritance:
Gently strike the left side of your chest (over the heart) with a closed fist at the words חָטָאנוּ and פָשָׁעְנוּ.
