But because of our sins, we were exiled from our land, and driven far away from our soil; and we are unable, and to perform our obligatory offerings in Your chosen House, in the great and holy House upon which Your Name is proclaimed, because of the hand [of violence] that was sent against Your Sanctuary. May it be Your will Adonoy, our God and God of our fathers, merciful King, to once again have compassion on us and on Your Sanctuary in Your abundant mercy; and rebuild it soon and greatly enhance its glory. Our Father, our King! reveal the glory of Your Kingship upon us soon, appear and be uplifted over us before the eyes of all living things. Bring near our scattered [people] from among the nations, and gather our dispersed from the ends of the earth. Bring us to Tziyon, Your city, with joyous song,— to Yerushalayim, House of Your Sanctuary, with everlasting joy. And there we will offer before You our obligatory sacrifices— the daily [burnt] offerings in their order, and the Musaf offerings according to their rule. And the Musaf offerings of On Shabbos, add: (this Shabbos day and) this Day of Remembrance we will prepare and bring before You with love according to the command of Your will; as You wrote for us in Your Torah, through the hands of Moshe, Your servant, from the mouth of Your glory, as it is said:

It is our obligation to praise the Master of all, to ascribe greatness to the Creator of [the world in] the beginning: that He has not made us like the nations of the lands, and has not positioned us like the families of the earth; that He has not assigned our portion like theirs, nor our lot like that of all their multitudes. For they prostrate themselves to vanity and nothingness, and pray to a god that cannot deliver. But we bow, prostrate ourselves, and offer thanks before the Supreme King of kings, the Holy One blessed is He, Who spreads the heavens, and establishes the earth, and the seat of His glory is in the heaven above, and the abode of His invincible might is in the loftier heights. He is our God, there is nothing else. Our King is true, all else is insignificant, as it is written in His Torah: “And You shall know this day and take into your heart that Adonoy is God in the heavens above and upon the earth below; there is nothing else.”

We therefore put our hope in You, Adonoy our God, to soon behold the glory of Your might in banishing idolatry from the earth; and the false gods will be utterly exterminated to perfect the world as the kingdom of Shadai. And all mankind will invoke Your Name, to turn back to You, all the wicked of the earth. They will realize, and know, all the inhabitants of the world, that to You every knee must bend, every tongue must swear allegiance to You. Before You, Adonoy, our God, they will bow and prostrate themselves, and to the glory of Your Name give honor. And they will accept upon themselves the yoke of Your kingdom, and You will reign over them, soon, forever and ever. For the kingdom is Yours, and to all eternity You will reign in glory, as it is written in Your Torah: “Adonoy will reign forever and ever.”

You remember the dealings of [men in] today’s world, and You [also] consider the behavior of all those who lived in earlier times. In Your Presence are revealed all hidden things and the multitude of secrets from the beginning of creation; for there is no forgetfulness before the throne of Your Glory, and there is nothing hidden from Your eyes. You remember all that has been done, and even all that which is formed is not concealed from You. All is revealed and known before You Adonoy, our God Who observes and looks until the end of all generations. For You set an appointed time of remembrance, to consider every soul and being; to cause numerous deeds to be remembered and the multitude of creatures without end. From the beginning of creation, You have made this known, and from before time You have revealed it. This day [Rosh Hashana] is the beginning of Your work a memorial of the first day. For it is a statute for Yisrael a [day of] judgment of the God of Yaakov. And over countries [judgment] is pronounced, which of them is destined for the sword [war] and which for peace, which for famine and which for abundance. And on it, creatures are brought to mind, to be remembered for life or for death. Who is not considered on this day? For the remembrance of all that is formed comes before You: the dealings of man, and the decree of his fate, and the misdeeds of man’s actions, the thoughts of man and his schemes, and the motives for the deeds of man. Fortunate is the man who does not forget You, the son of man who gains strength in You. For those who seek You will never stumble, and never will they be disgraced— all who trust in You. For the remembrance of all their deeds come before You, and You examine the deeds of all of them.

And by the hand of Your servants, the Prophets it is written: “Go and proclaim it in the ears of Yerushalayim, saying: thus said Adonoy, I remembered for you the kindness of your youth, the love of your bridal days, how you followed Me into the wilderness, in a land that was not cultivated.” And it is said: “I will remember My covenant [which I made] with you in the days of your youth, and I will fulfill it for you as an everlasting covenant.” And it is said: “Is Ephraim not My precious son, is he not a child of delight? For whenever I speak of him, I recall him even more; Therefore, My innermost being is aroused for him, I will surely have compassion on him, says Adonoy.”

Our God and God of our fathers remember us favorably before You and be mindful of us for deliverance and compassion from the eternal high heavens. Remember in our behalf, Adonoy, our God, the covenant, the kindness and the oath which You swore to our father Avraham on Mount Moriah, and let there appear before You the binding with which our father Avraham bound his son Yitzchak upon the altar, and how he suppressed his compassion to do Your will with a whole heart; so may Your compassion suppress Your anger against us, and in Your great goodness turn Your fierce anger away from Your people, and from Your city, from Your land, and from Your territorial heritage. And fulfill for us Adonoy, our God the promise You made in Your Torah, through Your servant, Moshe, from the mouth of Your glory, as it is said: “I will remember for them the covenant with their forefathers whom I took out of the land of Mitzrayim, before the eyes of the nations, to be their God; I am Adonoy.” For He Who remembers all forgotten things from eternity, are You, and there is no forgetfulness before the Throne of Your Glory; and the binding of Yitzchak— in behalf of his descendants— may You remember it today with compassion. Blessed are You Adonoy, Who remembers the covenant.

You were revealed in Your cloud of glory to Your holy people to speak to them. From the heavens, You let them hear Your voice, and revealed Yourself to them in pure clouds. So too, the entire world quivered before You, and the works of creation trembled before You, when You, our King revealed Yourself upon Mount Sinai to teach Your people Torah and mitzvos. You let them hear the majestic splendor of Your voice, and Your holy words from flames of fire; amidst thunder and lightning You revealed Yourself to them, and with the sound of a shofar, You appeared to them,

For it is a statute for Yisrael, a day of judgment of the God of Yaakov.” And it is said: “Praise God. Praise the Almighty in His Sanctuary Praise God in the firmament of His might. Praise Him for His mighty deeds, Praise Him according to the abundance of His greatness. Praise Him with the blowing of a shofar, Praise Him with lyre and harp. Praise Him with drum and dance, Praise Him with stringed instruments and flute. Praise Him with resounding cymbals, Praise Him with clanging cymbals. Let every soul praise God, Praise God.”

And by the hand of Your servants, the Prophets it is written: “All who inhabit the world of man and who dwell on earth— when the banner is raised on the mountains you will see it; and when a shofar will be sounded, you will hear it.” And it is said: “And it will be on that day, that a great shofar will be sounded, and they will come— those who were lost in the land of Ashur, and those who were outcasts in the land of Mitzrayim, and they will prostrate themselves to Adonoy, on the holy mountain in Yerushalayim.” And it is said: “And Adonoy will appear over them, and His arrow will go forth like lightning; and my Master, Adonoy, will sound the shofar and go forth in the whirlwinds of the south. Adonoy Tzevaos will protect them.” So may You be a shield over Your people, Yisrael, with Your peace.

Our God and God of our fathers, sound a great shofar for our liberty and raise a banner to gather our exiles. And bring near our scattered people from among the nations, and gather our dispersed from the ends of [the] earth. Bring us to Tziyon, Your city, with joyous song,— to Yerushalayim, house of Your Sanctuary, with eternal joy. And there we will offer before You our obligatory sacrifices, as we were commanded in Your Torah, through the hands of Moshe, Your servant, from the mouth of Your glory, as it is said: “And on the day of your rejoicing, and on your appointed festivals, and on your Rosh Chodesh days, you will sound the trumpets over your burnt-offerings and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings, and they will be a memorial for you before your God; I am Adonoy, your God.” For You hear the sound of shofar, and listen to the teruah; and there is none like You. Blessed are You, Adonoy, Who hears the sound of the teruah of His people, Yisrael, with compassion.

Let us describe the great holiness of this day, for it is awesome and frightening. On this day, Your Kingship is uplifted, and Your throne is established with kindness, and You sit upon it in truth. True that You are judge, admonisher, knower and witness; and You inscribe, seal, record and count, and recall all forgotten things. You open the book of records and it reads of itself; and the signature of every man is in it. A great shofar is sounded, and a silent, gentle voice is heard; and the angels are alarmed, pangs of fear and trembling seize them, and they declare, “behold the Day of Judgment.” The heavenly host is arraigned in judgment, for they are not guiltless in Your eyes in judgment. All mankind pass before You like young sheep. As a shepherd inspects his flock, making his sheep pass under his rod, so do You cause to pass, count, number, and review the soul of every living being, determining the life-span of every creature; and You record the decree of their judgment.

On Rosh Hashana their decree is inscribed, and on Yom Kippur it is sealed, how many will pass away and how many will be created, who will live and who will die; who will come to his timely end, and who to an untimely end; who will perish by fire and who by water; who by the sword and who by beast; who by hunger and who by thirst; who by earthquake and who by the plague; who by strangling and who by stoning; who will be at rest and who will wander about; who will have serenity and who will be confused; who will be tranquil and who will be tormented; who will become poor and who will become wealthy; who will be brought to a low state and who will be uplifted.

כִּי כְּשִׁמְךָ כֵּן תְּהִלָּתֶֽךָ. קָשֶׁה לִכְעֹס וְנֽוֹחַ לִרְצוֹת. כִּי לֹא תַחְפֹּץ בְּמוֹת הַמֵּת. כִּי אִם בְּשׁוּבוֹ מִדַּרְכּוֹ וְחָיָה. וְעַד יוֹם מוֹתוֹ תְּחַכֶּה לּוֹ. אִם יָשׁוּב מִיַּד תְּקַבְּלוֹ:
For as Your Name, so is Your praise, You are slow to anger and easy to pacify; For You do not desire death [for the sinner] but that he turn from his evil way and live. And even until his dying day, You wait for him— if he repents, You immediately accept him.

אֱמֶת כִּי אַתָּה הוּא יוֹצְרָם. וְאַתָּה יוֹדֵֽעַ יִצְרָם. כִּי הֵם בָּשָׂר וָדָם: אָדָם יְסוֹדוֹ מֵעָפָר וְסוֹפוֹ לֶעָפָר. בְּנַפְשׁוֹ יָבִיא לַחְמוֹ. מָשׁוּל כְּחֶֽרֶס הַנִּשְׁבָּר. כְּחָצִיר יָבֵשׁ. וּכְצִיץ נוֹבֵל. כְּצֵל עוֹבֵר. וּכְעָנָן כָּלָה. וּכְרֽוּחַ נוֹשָֽׁבֶת. וּכְאָבָק פּוֹרֵֽחַ. וְכַחֲלוֹם יָעוּף: וְאַתָּה הוּא מֶֽלֶךְ אֵל חַי וְקַיָּם:
True, You are their Creator, and You know their impulse that they are [but] flesh and blood. Man, his beginning is from dust and ends in dust; risking his life, he gets his bread, he is like a potsherd that is breakable, like grass that withers, like the flower that fades, like the shadow that passes, like the cloud that vanishes, like the wind that blows, like the dust that flies, and like a fleeting dream. But You are the King, the Almighty, the living and everlasting God.

אֵין קִצְבָה לִשְׁנוֹתֶיֽךָ. וְאֵין קֵץ לְאֹֽרֶךְ יָמֶֽיךָ. וְאֵין לְשַׁעֵר מַרְכְּבוֹת כְּבוֹדֶֽךָ. וְאֵין לְפָרֵשׁ עֵלוּם שְׁמֶֽךָ. שִׁמְךָ נָאֶה לְךָ וְאַתָּה נָאֶה לִשְׁמֶֽךָ. וּשְׁמֵֽנוּ קָרָֽאתָ בִּשְׁמֶֽךָ:
There is no end to Your years and there is no limit to the length of Your days. Immeasurable are the chariots of angels who glorify You, and there is no way to describe Your imperceptable Name. Your Name is fitting for You, and You are worthy of Your Name; and our name, You have called by Your Name.

Act for the sake of Your Name, and sanctify Your Name through those who hallow Your Name. For the sake of Your glorious Name, which is reverenced and sanctified, with the mystic speech of the holy serafim who sanctify Your Name in the Sanctuary. Those who dwell on high [the angels] unite with those who dwell on earth, to proclaim the three-fold sanctification; in [Your] Sanctuary
