שִׁיר הַמַּעֲלוֹת
מִמַּעֲמַקִּים קְרָאתִיךָ יְהוָה׃
אֲדֹנָי שִׁמְעָה בְקוֹלִי
תִּהְיֶינָה אָזְנֶיךָ קַשֻּׁבוֹת לְקוֹל תַּחֲנוּנָי׃
אִם־עֲוֺנוֹת תִּשְׁמָר־יָהּ
אֲדֹנָי מִי יַעֲמֹד׃
כִּי־עִמְּךָ הַסְּלִיחָה
לְמַעַן תִּוָּרֵא׃
קִוִּיתִי יְהוָה קִוְּתָה נַפְשִׁי
וְלִדְבָרוֹ הוֹחָלְתִּי׃
נַפְשִׁי לַאדֹנָי
מִשֹּׁמְרִים לַבֹּקֶר
שֹׁמְרִים לַבֹּקֶר׃
יַחֵל יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל־יְהוָה
כִּי־עִם־יְהוָה הַחֶסֶד
וְהַרְבֵּה עִמּוֹ פְדוּת׃
וְהוּא יִפְדֶּה אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵל מִכֹּל עֲוֺנֹתָיו׃ (תהלים ק״ל)
A song of ascents.
Out of the depths I call you, YHVH.
My Lord, listen to my cry;
let your ears be attentive to my plea for mercy.
If you keep account of sins, Yah,
my Lord, who will survive?
Yours is the power to forgive
so that you may be held in awe.
I and my soul hope for YHVH,
and I await their word.
I am more eager for my Lord
than watchmen for the morning,
[than] watchmen for the morning!
O Yisrael, wait for YHVH;
for with YHVH is a steadfast love
and a great power to redeem.
It is they who will redeem Yisrael from all their iniquities. (Psalms 130)
ריבון כל העולמים, מלך שהשלום שלו
שים שלום בארץ
והסר ממנה אכזריות איבה ושנאה
May the One who has dominion over all, Sovereign of Peace
Establish peace in the Land,
and turn aside enmity and hatred.
שלח מאורך ואמיתך
לכל יושביה
למען ידעו לכבד זה את זה
Send forth your light and your truth
to all its inhabitants,
that they will treat one another with mutual respect.
ולדבר זה עם זה למען יכבדו את צלמך המצוי בהם
ובכל אדם אחר היושב בארץ הזו
May they come to see your image in one another,
among all the inhabitants of Erets Yisrael.
שלח מרוחך לראשי שרי ויועצי מדינתנו
על מנת שידעו לפעול בשום שכל ובנחת רוח
לצמצם ולהסיר שפיכות דמים מן הארץ
Inspire government leaders and advisors
to act with wisdom and patience,
to minimize and remove bloodshed.
המצא רפואה שלמה לכל הפצועים,
ושלח נחמה למשפחות הרוגים
Send speedy and full healing to the injured,
and comfort to the families of the dead.
וקיים בנו מהרה מקרא שכתוב
לֹא־יִשָּׂא גוֹי אֶל־גּוֹי חֶרֶב
וְלֹא־יִלְמְדוּ עוֹד מִלְחָמָה (ישעיה ב:ד חלק)
And fulfill the promise made in scripture,
“Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
nor shall they learn war anymore.” (Isaiah 2:4 part)
And let us say, Amen.

“Tefilah haSha’ah” (Prayer of the Moment) with Psalms 130 was offered by Rav Avi Novis-Deutsch and shared by the Knesset haRabbanim l’Yisrael via their Facebook page on 29 January 2023. The English translation of the prayer was shared by the Rabbinical Assembly via their Facebook page a few hours later.

The translation of Psalms 130 is derived from the Sefaria Community translation. (I have re-hebraicized divine names, de-capitalized ‘you/your,’ and replaced default masculine pronouns for the divine with the gender inclusive singular ‘they.’) We have transcribed the prayer from the source image and set it and Psalms 130 side-by-side with their translations in English. –Aharon Varady
