Yahweh our God, God of gods and Lord of lords, may our prayer come before You who dwells in the highest heaven. What can we say to You who dwells on high; what shall we relate to You who abides in the heavens? For You know all the hidden and revealed things. You know the mysteries of the universe and the hidden secrets of every living being. You search all our innermost thoughts, and probe our mind and heart; nothing is hidden from You and nothing is concealed in Your sight. Ashamnu Prayer We are not so brazen and obstinate or hardened as to say before You, Yahweh our God, that we are righteous and have not sinned - rather, truly we and our forefathers have sinned. We have been unmindful of Your covenant and turned away from the keeping of Your good commandments and Your laws. We have walked in our own ways and neglected Your counsel. We have been slothful and negligent in the keeping of Your precepts and exalted our own reasonings above the truth of Your Word and have done evil in Your sight. We have been wicked, we have corrupted, we have been abominable, we have strayed and have become guilty in Your sight. We have betrayed, we have robbed, we have spoken slander. We have caused perversion, we have caused wickedness, we have sinned willfully, we have extorted, we have accused falsely. We have counseled evil, we have scorned, we have provoked, we have been perverse. We have rebelled, we have acted wantonly, we have been deceitful, we have persecuted, we have been obstinate and self-centered. We have not set You before our eyes and lived according to Your holy standards. But You are righteous and just, and Your laws are holy and good and all our righteousness is as filthy rags in Your sight. Thank You our God and God of our fathers, that You forgive all our sins, pardon all our iniquities, and grant atonement for all our transgressions through Yshua the Messiah. For it is written: If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. So we come before You on the basis of the sacrifice of Your beloved Son Yshua who made atonement for us and we ask, Yahweh our God, that You would have mercy on us and that You would forgive us for all our iniquities, and You would pardon us for all our sins which we confess before You this day, and that You would wash us and cleanse us through the blood of Yshua, our Messiah.
