Because we are with you

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki


Because we are with you, is a piyut that is included in the repetition of the Shatz in the standing prayers of Yom Kippur, in which there are many images of the relationship between the people of Israel and God. The author of the piyut is unknown. There are different versions of the piyut in the Western Ashkenazi custom and in the Polish custom.

Words of the song

Our God and the God of our ancestors
Forgive us
We are sorry
Atone for us
Because we are your people and you are our God
We are your sons and you are our father
We are your servants and you are our master
We are your people and you are our protector
We are your property and you are our destiny
We are your sheep and you are our shepherd
We are your vineyard and you are our overseer
We are your action and you are our creator
We are your wife and you are our husband
We are your virtue and you are our God
We are your people and you are our king
We are your governors and you are our ruler
We are stubborn and you are kind and merciful
We are hard-necked and you are patient
we are full of iniquity and you are full of mercy
We are on our right as a passing shadow and you are He and your years will not fail[1]
