רֵאשִׁית חָכְמָה יִרְאַת יְהֹוָה, שֵֽׂכֶל טוֹב לְכָל־עֹשֵׂיהֶם, תְּהִלָּתוֹ עוֹמֶֽדֶת לָעַד: בָּרוּךְ שֵׁם כְּבוֹד מַלְכוּתוֹ לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד:

The beginning of wisdom is fear of Adonoy, good understanding to all who perform [His commandments], His praise endures forever. Blessed [is His] Name, Whose glorious kingdom is forever and ever.

Shacharit: Tachanun: God of Israel

  1. יְהֹוָה אֱלֺהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל שׁוּב מֵחֲרוֹן אַפֶּֽךָ וְהִנָּחֵם עַל־הָרָעָה לְעַמֶּֽךָ:

    Adonoy, God of Israel, turn from Your fierce anger, and let Your mind be changed concerning the evil intended for Your people.

  2. הַבֵּט מִשָּׁמַֽיִם וּרְאֵה כִּי הָיִֽינוּ לַֽעַג וָקֶֽלֶס בַּגּוֹיִם: נֶחְשַֽׁבְנוּ כַּצֹּאן לָטֶֽבַח יוּבָל, לַהֲרוֹג וּלְאַבֵּד וּלְמַכָּה וּלְחֶרְפָּה: וּבְכָל־זֹאת שִׁמְךָ לֺא שָׁכָֽחְנוּ נָא אַל־תִּשְׁכָּחֵֽנוּ:

    Look from heaven and behold that we have become [an object] of scorn and derision among the nations; we are considered as the sheep led to the slaughter to be slain and destroyed, tortured and humiliated. And yet despite all this, we have not forgotten Your Name; please, do not forget us.

    Strangers say: there is no hope or expectation [for us.] Be gracious to the people who place their hope in Your Name. Pure One, bring our deliverance near; we are weary and no relief is granted us. May Your mercy suppress Your anger from us. We beseech You, turn from Your anger, and have compassion on the treasured people whom You have chosen.

    Adonoy, in Your mercy, spare us, do not discard us in the hands of cruel foes. Why should the nations say: Where now is their God? For Your sake, deal kindly with us and do not delay. We beseech You, turn from Your anger, and have compassion on the treasured people whom You have chosen.

    Hear our voice and be gracious, do not cast us off into the hands of our enemies to obliterate our name. Remember what You have sworn to our fathers: Like the stars of the heavens will I multiply your descendants, and now, we are left only a few out of many. And yet despite all this, we have not forgotten Your Name; please, do not forget us.

    As for us, we know not what to do; but our eyes are upon You. Remember Your mercies, Adonoy, and kindnesses for they are from the beginning of the world. Adonoy! may Your kindness be upon us, as we have waited for You. Remember not the sins of our ancestors; let Your mercy come swiftly toward us, for we have been brought very low. Be gracious to us, Adonoy, be gracious to us for we are saturated with humiliation. [Even] in anger remember to have compassion. For He knows of what we are made; He is mindful that we are but dust.

  2. עַל כֵּן נְקַוֶּה לְךָ יְהֹוָה אֱלֺהֵֽינוּ לִרְאוֹת מְהֵרָה בְּתִפְאֶֽרֶת עֻזֶּֽךָ לְהַעֲבִיר גִּלּוּלִים מִן הָאָֽרֶץ וְהָאֱלִילִים כָּרוֹת יִכָּרֵתוּן לְתַקֵּן עוֹלָם בְּמַלְכוּת שַׁדַּי וְכָל בְּנֵי בָשָׂר יִקְרְאוּ בִשְׁ֒מֶֽךָ, לְהַפְנוֹת אֵלֶֽיךָ כָּל רִשְׁ֒עֵי אָֽרֶץ, יַכִּֽירוּ וְיֵדְ֒עוּ כָּל יוֹשְׁ֒בֵי תֵבֵל כִּי לְךָ תִכְרַע כָּל בֶּֽרֶךְ תִּשָּׁבַע כָּל לָשׁוֹן: לְפָנֶֽיךָ יְהֹוָה אֱלֺהֵֽינוּ יִכְרְעוּ וְיִפֹּֽלוּ, וְלִכְ֒בוֹד שִׁמְךָ יְקָר יִתֵּֽנוּ, וִיקַבְּ֒לוּ כֻלָּם אֶת עֹל מַלְכוּתֶֽךָ, וְתִמְלֺךְ עֲלֵיהֶם מְהֵרָה לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד, כִּי הַמַּלְכוּת שֶׁלְּ֒ךָ הִיא וּלְעֽוֹלְ֒מֵי עַד תִּמְלוֹךְ בְּכָבוֹד, כַּכָּתוּב בְּתוֹרָתֶֽךָ יְהֹוָה יִמְלֺךְ לְעֹלָם וָעֶד: וְנֶאֱמַר וְהָיָה יְהֹוָה לְמֶֽלֶךְ עַל כָּל הָאָֽרֶץ בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא יִהְיֶה יְהֹוָה אֶחָד וּשְׁמוֹ אֶחָד:

    And so we hope in You, Adonai our G-d, soon to see Your splendor: that You will sweep idolatry away so that false gods will be utterly destroyed, and that You will perfect the world by Your sovereignty so that all humanity will invoke Your name, and all the earth's wicked will return to You, repentant. Then all who live will know that to You every knee must bend, every tongue pledge loyalty. To You, Adonai, may all bow in worship. May they give honor to Your glory; may everyone accept Your dominion. Reign over all, soon and for all time. Sovereignty is Yours in glory, now and forever. Thus it is written in Your Torah: "Adonai reigns for ever and ever." Such is the prophetic assurance: "Adonai shall be acknowledged Ruler of all the earth. On that day Adonai shall be One and G-d's name One."
