Prayer of Manasseh 12–15

¹²I have sinned, O Lord, I have sinned,

and I acknowledge my transgressions.^*

¹³I earnestly implore you,

forgive me, O Lord, forgive me!

Do not destroy me with my transgressions!

Do not be angry with me forever or store up evil for me;

do not condemn me to the depths of the earth.

For you, O Lord, are the God of those who repent,^*

¹⁴and in me you will manifest your goodness,

for, unworthy as I am, you will save me according to your great mercy,

¹⁵and I will praise you continually all the days of my life.

For all the host of heaven sings your praise,

and yours is the glory forever. Amen.^*
