Introduction

Hebrew Text

רבי אליעזר אומר:
העושה תפילתו קבע – אין תפילתו תחנונים.
רבי יהושע אומר:
המהלך במקום סכנה – מתפלל תפילה קצרה ואומר:
"הושע ה' את עמך,
את שארית ישראל,
כל פרשת העיבור – יהיו צרכיהם לפניך.
ברוך אתה ה', שומע תפילה."

English Translation

edit
Rabbi Eliezer says:
One who makes his prayer "set" [as though it is burdensome to him],
his prayer does not constitute "pleading" [for divine mercy, and therefore he will not receive it].
Rabbi Yehoshua says:
One who is traveling a dangerous place should offer a brief prayer, and say:
Save, Hashem, Your people,
The remnant of Israel;
Even when they distance themselves through sin, let their needs be before You.
You are the Source of all blessing, Hashem, Who heeds prayer.
