{Lyrics:}
Ya! Your destitute ones seek your face!
O Father, to your children, do not turn away your ear
Ya! From chasm to precipice the nation calls upon you
Do not turn them away destitute
Wipe away their transgressions and act for them, even as their foes increase
If not for their sake, O’ Lord, my Rock, act for your sake
Eradicate their debts-cause them to yearn for thee like a precious stone
Soften their hearts to you, incline your ear to them
Recall the tears on their faces. Gather the wandering flock
Raise up a good shepherd to tend your flock with tenderness
Gladden those on the lost path with good tidings of forgiveness
Upon their rising stir their hearts with your grace
יָהּ שְׁמַע אֶבְיוֹנֶיךָ הַמְחַלִּים פָּנֶיךָ
אָבִינוּ לְבָנֶיךָ אַל תַּעְלֵם אָזְנֶךָ
יָהּ עַם מִמַּעֲמַקִּים יִקְרְאוּ מֵרוֹב מְצוּקִים
אַל נָא תְּשִׁיבֵם רֵקִים הַיּוֹם מִלְּפָנֶיךָ
הַוּוֹתָם וַעֲוֹנָם מְחֵה וְרֻבֵּי זְדוֹנָם
וְאִם לֹא תַעֲשֶׂה לְמַעֲנָם עֲשֵׂה צוּרִי לְמַעֲנֶךָ
וּמְחֵה הַיּוֹם חוֹבָם וּרְצֵה כְּמוֹ שַׁי נִיבָם
וּלְךָ תָּכִין לִבָּם וְגַם תַּקְשִׁיב אָזְנֶךָ
דִּמְעַת פְּנֵיהֶם תִשְׁעֶה וְתֶאֱסוֹף עֵדֶר תּוֹעֶה
וְתָקִים לְךָ רוֹעֶה וּפְקוֹד בְּטוֹב צֹאנֶךָ
הוֹלְכֵי בְּדֶרֶךְ נְכֹחָה תְּבַשְּׂרֵם הַיּוֹם סְלִיחָה
וּבִתְפִלַּת הַשָּׁחַר הַמְצִיאֵם חִנֶּךָ
