Hineni is the leader's prayer that opens the Musaf service on the High Holydays. It is a personal plea by the leader on behalf of the community. It is one of the only prayers in high holiday liturgy that is from an individual rather than the collective.

הִנְנִי
Hineni
Here I am
בָּאתִי לַעֲמֹד וּלְחַנֵּן לְפָנֶיךָ
Bati la'amod u'l'chanen l'fanecha
I came here before You to plead
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה שׁוֹמֵעַ תְּפִלָּה
Barch atah shome'ah tefilah
Blessed are You, the One who hears our prayers.
