Prayer of Manasseh 5-7
Revised Standard Version
5 for thy glorious splendor cannot be borne,
and the wrath of thy threat to sinners is irresistible;
6 yet immeasurable and unsearchable is thy promised mercy,
7 for thou art the Lord Most High,
of great compassion, long-suffering, and very merciful,
and repentest over the evils of men.
Thou, O Lord, according to thy great goodness
hast promised repentance and forgiveness
to those who have sinned against thee;
and in the multitude of thy mercies
thou hast appointed repentance for sinners,
that they may be saved.
