Prayer of Manasseh 12–15

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

and I know my transgressions.

¹³I earnestly beseech thee,

forgive me, O Lord, forgive me!

Do not destroy me with my transgressions!

Do not be angry with me for ever or lay up evil for me;

do not condemn me to the depths of the earth.

For thou, O Lord, art the God of those who repent,

¹⁴and in me thou wilt manifest thy goodness;

for, unworthy as I am, thou wilt save me in thy great mercy,

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

For all the host of heaven sings thy praise,

and thine is the glory for ever. Amen.
