Prayer of Manasseh 1:9-13

9 I am bowed down with many iron bands, that I cannot lift up mine head, neither have any release: for I have provoked thy wrath, and done evil before thee: I did not thy will, neither kept I thy commandments: I have set up abominations, and have multiplied offences.

10 Now therefore I bow the knee of mine heart, beseeching thee of grace.

11 I have sinned, O Lord, I have sinned, and I acknowledge mine iniquities:

12 wherefore, I humbly beseech thee, forgive me, O Lord, forgive me, and destroy me not with mine iniquites. Be not angry with me for ever, by reserving evil for me; neither condemn me to the lower parts of the earth. For thou art the God, even the God of them that repent;

13 and in me thou wilt shew all thy goodness: for thou wilt save me, that am unworthy, according to thy great mercy.
