Prayer of Manasseh 10–11

¹⁰I am weighted down with many an iron fetter,

so that I am rejected because of my sins,

and I have no relief;

for I have provoked thy wrath

and have done what is evil in thy sight,

setting up abominations and multiplying offenses.

¹¹And now I bend the knee of my heart,

beseeching thee for thy kindness.
