Prayer of Manasseh 11-13

Common English Bible

¹¹ Now I bow down before you
    from 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 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.
