Selichot Edot HaMizrach 5

To you, Lord, is justice and to us is shamefacedness. How (lit., what) shall we complain and what shall we say? How can we speak and how can we justify ourselves? We will examine our ways and contemplate, and return to You. For Your right hand is extended, to accept the ones returning to You. They are returning to You with all their hearts; accept, in Your mercy, their beseeching. For Your great mercy we have come before You; like weak and impoverished people we have knocked on Your doors. On Your doors we have knocked, merciful and gracious One, do not let us return empty-handed from before You. From You, our King, do not send us back empty-handed; for You hear prayers. The One who hears prayers, to You all flesh shall come. The spirits shall come before You, and all of the souls. The soul and the body are Yours, spare Your work. The soul and the body are Yours, the Rock that none are like You, spare Your work. The soul and the body are Yours, do it for the sake of Your name. We have pleaded for Your name, do it for the sake of Your name. For the sake of Your name, for Your name is Gracious and Merciful King. Your name will be pronounced about us, Lord our God. Your name will be pronounced among us; do not put us aside, Lord our God. Our God, we are embarrassed of our actions and we are ashamed of our wrongdoings. We do not have a mouth to answer back, nor the temerity to lift up our head. For our backsliding has become great, we have sinned before You. We have sinned with our fathers, we have become criminals and wicked. What shall we say before You, the One who sits above; what will we say before the One who dwells up above? Do You not know what is hidden and revealed? You know the mysteries of the world, and what is hidden by every living being. You search the innermost parts of the abdomen; You see the kidneys and the heart. There is nothing that is lost before You, there is nothing that is concealed before Your eyes. If our sins have testified against us, Lord, do it for the sake of Your name. If You should hold on to sins, God, who will remain standing? For from You is forgiveness, so that You will be feared. For the source of life is with You, we shall see light by Your light. For it is not because of our righteousness that we cast our supplications before You, but it is rather from Your great mercy.

Selichot Edot HaMizrach 13

God King, who sits on the throne of mercy, governs with kindness forgives the iniquities of His people. He removes them one by one (Rosh Hashanah 17a:13), increasing forgiveness to sinners, and pardon to transgressors. Acting charitably with all who are of flesh and spirit; not according to their wickedness does He repay them. God, You instructed us to recite the thirteen [divine] attributes; remember unto us this day the covenant of the thirteen [attributes], as You made them known to the humble one of old (Moses): As it is written in Your Torah, “And the Lord descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and He proclaimed the Name of the Lord.” And there it is stated,

“And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, 'The Lord, the Lord, Almighty, Merciful, Gracious, Slow to Anger, and Abundant in Kindness and Truth, Keeper of kindness for thousands of generations, Endurer of iniquity, and transgression, and sin; and Acquitter of those who repent.'” “And pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for Your inheritance.”

Selichot Edot HaMizrach 55

The faithful men are gone; we would come with the strength of their deeds. They were the strong ones who could stand in the breach; they would push off the decrees. They would be a wall for us; and a shelter at a time of rage. They assuaged the anger with their whispers; they stopped the fury with their entreaties. Before they called You, You answered them; they knew to supplicate and to appease. Like a father did You have mercy for their sake. You did not turn back their faces empty-handed. From our many iniquities, we have lost them. They have been taken from us for our sins. They have moved on to their resting places. They have left us sighing. Those that built fences have been taken; those who turn away the fury were cut off. There are none to stand in the breach. Those fitting to appease You have been taken away. We have wandered to the four corners [of the earth], we have not found a cure. We have returned to you shamefacedly to seek You, God, at the time of our prayers for forgiveness.

Angels of mercy! Bring our plea for compassion before the Presence of the Lord of mercy. Angels of prayer! Cause our prayers to be heard before Him Who hears prayer. Angels of weeping! Cause our cries to be heard before Him Who listens to cries. Angels of tears! bring our tears before the King Who is appeased by tears. Intercede for us and amplify supplication and entreaty before the King, Almighty, Who is exalted and uplifted. Mention before Him, cause Him to hear of the Torah learning and good deeds of our ancestors who repose in the dust. May He remember their love and give life to their descendants so that the remnant of Jacob will not perish; for the flock of the faithful shepherd has become a disgrace; Israel the unique nation [has become] an example and a byword [of humiliation]. Hasten and answer us, God of our deliverance, and redeem us from all harsh decrees, deliver in Your abundant mercy Your righteous annointed and Your people.
