Exalt Adonai, our God; bow down before God, the Holy One. Passage רוֹמְמוּ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ וְהִשְׁתַּחֲווּ לְהַר קָדְשׁוֹ, כִּי קָדוֹשׁ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ. ro|me|MU a|do|NAI e|lo|HEI|nu ve|hish|ta|cha|VU le|HAR kod|SHO, ki ka|DOSH a|do|NAI e|lo|HEI|nu. ro|me|MU a|do|NAI ʾe|lo|HE|nu ve|hish|ta|ḥa|VU le|HAR qodh|SHO, ki qa|DHOSH a|do|NAI ʾe|lo|HE|nu. ro|me|MU a|do|NAI e|lo|HE|nu ve|hish|ta|ḥa|VU le|HAR qod|SHO, ki qa|DOSH a|do|NAI e|lo|HE|nu. roym'|MU a|do|NOY e|loy|HEI|nu v'hish|ta|cha|VU l'HAR kod|SHOY, ki ko|DOYSH a|do|NOY e|loy|HEI|nu. Exalt Adonai, our God, and bow down at God’s holy mountain, for Adonai our God is holy. Passage וְהוּא רַחוּם יְכַפֵּר עָוֹן וְלֹא יַשְׁחִית, וְהִרְבָּה לְהָשִׁיב אַפּוֹ וְלֹא יָעִיר כָּל־חֲמָתוֹ. ve|HU ra|CHUM ye|cha|PER a|VON ve|LO yash|CHIT, ve|hir|BAH le|ha|SHIV a|PO ve|LO ya-IR kol-cha|ma|TO. ve|HUʾ ra|ḥUM ye|khap|PER ʿa|VON ve|LOʾ yash|ḥITH, ve|hir|BAH le|ha|SHIV ʾap|PO ve|LOʾ ya|ʿIR kol-ḥa|ma|THO. ve|HU ra|ḥUM ye|khap|PER ʿa|VON ve|LO yash|ḥIT, ve|hir|BAH le|ha|SHIV ap|PO ve|LO ya|ʿIR kol-ḥa|ma|TO. v'HU ra|CHUM y'cha|PEIR o|VOYN v'LOY yash|CHIS, v'hir|BOH l'ho|SHIV a|POY v'LOY yo-IR kol-cha|mo|SOY. God, who is compassionate, will forgive sin and not wreak destruction; for again and again God acts with restraint, refusing to let rage become all-consuming. Passage אַתָּה יְהוָה לֹא־תִכְלָא רַחֲמֶיךָ מִמֶּנִּי, חַסְדְּךָ וַאֲמִתְּךָ תָּמִיד יִצְּרוּנִי. a|TAH a|do|NAI lo-tich|LA ra|cha|ME|cha mi|ME|ni, chas|de|CHA va-a|mit|CHA ta|MID yitz|ru|NI. ʾat|TAH a|do|NAI loʾ-thikh|LAʾ ra|ḥa|ME|kha mim|MEN|ni, ḥas|de|KHA va|ʾa|mit|te|KHA ta|MIDH yit|tze|ru|NI. at|TAH a|do|NAI lo-tikh|LA ra|ḥa|ME|kha mim|MEN|ni, ḥas|de|KHA va|a|mit|te|KHA ta|MID yit|tze|ru|NI. a|TOH a|do|NOY loy-sich|LO ra|cha|ME|cho mi|ME|ni, chas|d'CHO va-a|mit'|CHO to|MID yitz'|ru|NI. You, Adonai, will not withhold Your compassion from me, Your kindly love and Your faithfulness shall always be my protection. Passage זְכֹר רַחֲמֶיךָ יְהוָה וַחֲסָדֶיךָ, כִּי מֵעוֹלָם הֵמָּה. z'CHOR ra|cha|ME|cha a|do|NAI va|cha|sa|DE|cha, ki me-o|LAM he|MAH. ze|KHOR ra|ḥa|ME|kha a|do|NAI va|ḥa|sa|DHE|kha, ki me|ʿo|LAM hem|MAH. ze|KHOR ra|ḥa|ME|kha a|do|NAI va|ḥa|sa|DE|kha, ki me|ʿo|LAM hem|MAH. z'CHOYR ra|cha|ME|cho a|do|NOY va|cha|so|DE|cho, ki mei-oy|LOM hei|MOH. Remember Your compassion, Adonai, and Your love, for they are timeless.

With all your strength, greet God, whose pride is the people Israel and whose might is in the heavens. Awe of You, O God, fills Your holy places; it is You, God of Israel, who gives strength and greatness to this people. May God be blessed. Passage אֵל נְקָמוֹת יְהוָה, אֵל נְקָמוֹת הוֹפִיעַ. הִנָּשֵׂא שֹׁפֵט הָאָרֶץ, הָשֵׁב גְּמוּל עַל־גֵּאִים. el ne|ka|MOT a|do|NAI, el ne|ka|MOT ho|FIA. hi|na|SEI sho|FET ha-a|RETZ, ha|SHEV g'MUL al-ge-IM. ʾel ne|qa|MOTH a|do|NAI, ʾel ne|qa|MOTH ho|FIAʿ. hin|na|śEʾ sho|FEṭ ha|ʾa|RETZ, ha|SHEV ge|MUL ʿal-ge|ʾIM. el ne|qa|MOT a|do|NAI, el ne|qa|MOT ho|FIAʿ. hin|na|SE sho|FET ha|a|RETZ, ha|SHEV ge|MUL ʿal-ge|IM. eil n'ko|MOYS a|do|NOY, eil n'ko|MOYS hoy|FIA. hi|no|SEI shoy|FEIT ho-o|RETZ, ho|SHEIV g'MUL al-gei-IM. God of retribution, Adonai, God of retribution, reveal Yourself; judge of all the earth, pass sentence—humble the haughty.
Commentary PSALMIC VERSES. The earliest form of poetic prayers composed after the destruction of the Second Temple contained associated biblical verses arranged in new patterns. Each verse is connected to the next through word repetition and thematic continuity. This prayer, which is an example of this form, centers on the redemption of the people Israel: it calls upon God to forgive sin—in rabbinic theology, sin was a cause of Israel’s exile—and then calls for an end to the oppression of Israel by other nations. It concludes on the next page with the promised reconciliation of God and Israel. The first two verses are taken from Psalm 99:5, 9. The italics in the translation are meant to emphasize that the verses often have an antiphonal quality; they may have originally been recited responsively, though today they may not necessarily be read that way.
Commentary BOW DOWN BEFORE GOD וְהִשְׁתַּחֲווּ לַהֲדֹם רַגְלָיו. Literally, “bow down at God’s footstool.” In the ancient Near East, one prostrated oneself at the footstool of the king as a sign of obeisance.
Commentary GOD, WHO IS COMPASSIONATE וְהוּא רַחוּם. Psalm 78:38. This is one of the most frequently quoted verses in the liturgy, perhaps because it is the clearest possible statement about God’s mercy. Mercy, not punishment, is fundamental to God’s nature. The entire verse has thirteen words, reminding us of the “Thirteen Attributes” of God’s mercy disclosed in Exodus 34:6–7.
Commentary YOU, ADONAI אַתָּה יְהוָה. Psalm 40:12.
Commentary REMEMBER YOUR COMPASSION זְכֹר רַחֲמֶיךָ. Psalm 25:6.
Commentary WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH, GREET GOD תְּנוּ עֹז לֵאלֹהִים. Psalm 68:35–36.
Commentary YOUR HOLY PLACES מִמִּקְדָּשֶׁיךָ. The Hebrew is plural. Before the reign of Hezekiah (late 7th century B.C.E.) there were multiple sanctuaries in the Land of Israel. In the liturgical context here, the reference may be to the synagogues throughout the world. Meiri (d. 1310, Provence) interprets the “holy places” to allude to the gatherings of the righteous and to their burial sites.
Commentary GOD OF RETRIBUTION אֵל נְקָמוֹת. Psalm 94:1–2. The context in the psalm makes clear that God’s wrath is invoked against those who behave immorally—oppressing the poor, the widow, and the stranger.
Commentary DON YOUR ROBES הִנָּשֵׂא. Literally, “rise up.” In the ancient Near East, the judge rose to pass sentence.
MarginNote The People Israel Israel exists not in order to be but in order to dream the dream of God. Our faith may be strained, but our destiny is anchored to the ultimate. Who can establish the outcome of our history? Out of the wonder we came and into the wonder we shall return. —ABRAHAM JOSHUA HESCHEL
