Prayer of Manasseh 9-11
Revised Standard Version
Confession of Sins
9 For the sins I have committed are more in number than the sand of the sea;
my transgressions are multiplied, O Lord, they are multiplied!
I am unworthy to look up and see the height of heaven
because of the multitude of my iniquities.
10 I am weighted down with many an iron fetter,
so that I am rejected because of my sins,
and I have no relief;
for I have provoked thy wrath
and have done what is evil in thy sight,
setting up abominations and multiplying offenses.
Supplication for Pardon
11 And now I bend the knee of my heart,
beseeching thee for thy kindness.
