Hebrew
עֲנֵנוּ יְהוָה עֲנֵנוּ בְּיוֹם צוֹם הַתַּעֲנִית הַזֶּה, כִּי בְצָרָה גְדוֹלָה אֲנָחְנוּ. אַל תֵּפֶן אֶל רִשְׁעֵנוּ, וְאַל תַּסְתֵּר פָּנֶיךָ מִמֶּנּוּ, וְאַל תִּתְעַלַּם מִתְּחִנָּתֵנוּ. הֱיֵה נָא קָרוֹב לְשַׁוְעָתֵנוּ, וִיהִי נָא חַסְדְּךָ לְנַחֲמֵנוּ. טֶרֶם נִקְרָא אֵלֶיךָ עֲנֵנוּ, כְּדָבָר שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: וְהָיָה טֶרֶם יִקְרָאוּ וַאֲנִי אֶעֱנֶה, עוֹד הֵם מְדַבְּרִים וַאֲנִי אֶשְׁמָע. כִּי אַתָּה יְהוָה הָעוֹנֶה בְּעֵת צָרָה, פּוֹדֶה וּמַצִּיל בְּכָל עֵת צָרָה וְצוּקָה. בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהוָה, הָעוֹנֶה לְעַמּוֹ יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּעֵת צָרָה.
English
Answer us, LORD, answer us on our Fast Day, for we are in great distress. Look not at our wickedness. Do not hide Your face from us and do not ignore our plea. Be near to our cry; please let Your loving-kindness comfort us. Even before we call to You, answer us, as is said, “Before they call, I will answer. While they are still speaking, I will hear.” For You, LORD, are the One who answers in time of distress, redeems and rescues in all times of trouble and anguish. Blessed are You, LORD, who answers His people Israel in time of distress.

Aneinu Adonai aneinu b'yom tzom hata'anit hazeh, ki v'tzarah gedolah anachnu. Al tefen el rish'einu, v'al taster panecha mimenu, v'al tit'alam mitchinnatenu. Heye na karov l'shav'ateinu, vihi na chasdecha l'nachemeinu. Terem nikra elecha aneinu, k'davar shene'emar: V'hayah terem yikre'u va'ani e'eneh, od hem medabrim va'ani eshma. Ki Atah Adonai ha'oneh b'et tzarah, podeh u'matzil b'chol et tzarah v'tzukah. Baruch Atah Adonai, ha'oneh l'amo Yisrael b'et tzarah.
