Take us out of exile

Hebrew
רְאֵה נָא בְעָנְיֵנוּ וְרִיבָה רִיבֵנוּ,
וּגְאָלֵנוּ מְהֵרָה לְמַעַן
שְׁמֶךָ, כִּי אֵל גּוֹאֵל חָזָק אָתָּה.
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ, גּוֹאֵל יִשְׂרָאֵל:
Sephardi
Re'eh na ve-onyenu ve-rivah rivenu,
u-ge-alenu meherah lema'an
Shemecha, ki El go'el chazak Atah.
Baruch Atah Adonai, go'el Yisrael:
English
Please look at our suffering and fight our battles. Redeem us quickly from exile for the sake of Your name—so that everyone will recognize that You care for Your people—because You are a God Who is a strong redeemer. Blessed are You, Lord, the redeemer of the Children of Israel.
On a public fast day, the chazzan adds the following in his repetition.

Listen to our prayers in these difficult times

Hebrew
עֲנֵנוּ יְיָ 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 יְיָ הָעוֹנֶה
בְּעֵת צָרָה, פּוֹדֶה וּמַצִּיל בְּכָל עֵת צָרָה
וְצוּקָה. בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ, הָעוֹנֶה לְעַמּוֹ
יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּעֵת צָרָה:
Sephardi
Anenu Adonai, anenu be-yom tzom ta-anitenu, ki
vetzarah gedolah anachnu, al tefen el

ve-tzukah. Baruch Atah Adonai, ha'oneh le'amo
Yisrael be'et tzarah:
English
Answer us, Lord. Please answer us on our fast day, because we are in a time of great difficulty. Do not turn to look at our wickedness and our sins; do not hide Your face from us, and do not ignore our requests. Please come close to us and listen to our cries, and please give us Your kindness so that we will be comforted. Answer us even before we call out to You, as it is said in Isaiah: And it will be that even before they will call out to Me, I will answer them; while they are still saying words of prayer, I will listen to them and help them. We turn to You, because You, Lord, are the One Who answers us and helps us in our difficult times, and Who redeems us and rescues us during all the difficult and hard times. Blessed are You, Lord, Who answers the prayers of His nation, the Children of Israel, in their difficult times.

Heal our sick people

Hebrew
רְפָאֵנוּ יְיָ וְנֵרָפֵא, הוֹשִׁיעֵנוּ

Atah Adonai, rofei cholei amo Yisrael:

Heal us, Lord, and we will be healed. Save us and we will be saved from all pain and suffering. Do this because You are the God by Whom we praise ourselves. Bring a complete healing and cure to all of our sores and sicknesses, because You, Lord, our King, are a trustworthy and merciful healer. Blessed are You, Lord, Who heals the sick people of His nation, the Children of Israel.

Blessed are You, Lord, Who blesses the years’ produce.

Gather us all to the Land of Israel

Hebrew
תְּקַע בְּשׁוֹפָר גָּדוֹל לְחֵרוּתֵנוּ,
וְשָׂא נֵס לְקַבֵּץ גָּלֻיּוֹתֵינוּ,

ve-kabbetzenu yachad mei'arba kanfot
ha'aretz le'artzeinu. Baruch Atah Adonai,
mekabbetz nidchei amo Yisrael:
English
Blow the great shofar for a signal, to announce our freedom from exile. Raise a big flag—give us a signal—so that we will know to gather together from our exiles. Gather us together from the four corners of the earth and bring us to our holy Land of Israel. Blessed are You, Lord, Who gathers those of His nation, the Children of Israel, who are scattered around the world.
Between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, say מֶלֶךְ הַמִּשְׁפָּט instead of מֶלֶךְ אוֹהֵב צְדָקָה וּמִשְׁפָּט. If an error was made, it is not necessary to return or repeat the Amidah.
