קוּמִי רֹנִּי בַלַּיְלָה, לְרֹאשׁ אַשְׁמֻרוֹת
שִׁפְכִי כַמַּיִם לִבֵּךְ, נֹכַח פְּנֵי ה׳
שְׂאִי אֵלָיו כַּפַּיִךְ, עַל-נֶפֶשׁ עוֹלָלַיִךְ
הָעֲטוּפִים בְּרָעָב, בְּרֹאשׁ כָּל-חוּצוֹת

Translation:

Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the watches; pour out thy heart like water before the face of the Lord; lift up thy hands toward Him for the life of thy young children, that faint for hunger at the head of every street.

Jewish Publication Society 1917 translation (open source)
