What are "Avonos Rishonim"?

1.

Radak: They are the sins of youth. It is as if it says "Avonos Ne'urim."

2.

Radak, based on Ibn Ezra: The sins of our fathers. This is like Yirmeyah said "Avoseinu Chatanu va'Anachnu Avonoseihem Savalnu" (Eichah 5:7). This is based on "Poked Avon Avos Al Banim" (Shemos 20:5), when the children continue in the parents' sins. Do not recall their sins for us - our sins suffice for us!

2)

What is the meaning of "Yekademunu"?

1.

Radak: It is preparation of a matter, and bringing it in front of a person. The same applies to "Asher Lo Kidmu Eschem" (Devarim 23:5).

2.

Malbim: One who is stricken for his sins, they do not have mercy on him, since he is guilty. Therefore, I request that Your mercy precede remembering early sins; if You remember the sins, You will not have mercy. Rather, before You remember them, put Your mercy first, for we are very poor.

3)

Why did he say "Dalonu Me'od"?

1.

Radak: We lack strength to suffer Galus.
