Because we are with you, It is a piot 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 piot is unknown. There are different versions of the piot 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 divided

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 uncle

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 governors

We are brave and you are kind and kind

We are hard-necked and you are long-nosed

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]
