Prayer Of Manasseh 1:11-15 Common English Bible (CEB)

11. Now I bow down before youfrom deep within my heart,begging for your kindness.

12. I have sinned, Lord, I have sinned,and I know the laws I’ve broken.

13. I’m praying, begging you:Forgive me, Lord, forgive me.Don’t destroy me along with my sins.Don’t keep my bad deedsin your memory forever.Don’t sentence me to the earth’s depths,for you, Lord, are the Godof those who turn from their sins.

14. In me you’ll show how kind you are.Although I’m not worthy,you’ll save me accordingto your great mercy.

15. I will praise you continuouslyall the days of my life,because all of heaven’s forces praise you,and the glory is yoursforever and always. Amen.
