Prayer of Manasseh 12-14

Common English Bible

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 deeds
    in your memory forever.
    Don’t sentence me to the earth’s depths,
        for you, Lord, are the God
        of 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 according
        to your great mercy.
