שְׁמַע קולֵנוּ, ה' אֱלהֵינוּ, חוּס וְרַחֵם עָלֵינו, וְקַבֵּל בְּרַחֲמִים וּבְרָצון אֶת תְּפִלָּתֵנוּ
                                                                                        הֲשִׁיבֵֽנוּ יְהֹוָה אֵלֶֽיךָ
                                                                                    הֲשִׁיבֵֽנוּ אֵלֶֽיךָ וְנָשֽׁוּבָה
                                                                                           חַדֵּשׁ יָמֵֽינוּ כְּקֶֽדֶם
                                                                                                   אַל תַּשְׁלִיכֵֽנוּ
                                                                 לְעֵת זִקְנָה כִּכְלוֹת כֹּחֵֽנוּ אַל תַּעַזְבֵֽנוּ
שְׁמַע קולֵנוּ, ה' אֱלהֵינוּ, חוּס וְרַחֵם עָלֵינו, וְקַבֵּל בְּרַחֲמִים וּבְרָצון אֶת תְּפִלָּתֵנוּ

Sh'ma koleinu, Adonai Eloheinu. Chus v'rachem, aleinu. 
Hear our voice God, have compassion upon us. 

V'kabel b'rachamim, b'rachamim uv'ratzon et t'filateinu. 
Receive our prayer with mercy and righteousness. 

Hashiveinu Adonai Elecha, v'nashuva: chadesh yameinu k'kedem. 
Return us to You, Adonai, and we will return. Renew our days as of old. 

Al tashlicheinu, l'et ziknah kichlot kocheinu, al taazveinu. 
Do not turn us away in our old season, as our strength diminishes, do not abandon us. Do not be far from us.
