Prayer of Manasses 1:10

10 I am crushed beneath the weight of my sin; I am bowed down by its heavy iron chain. I can find no relief, for I have made you angry. I have set up idols everywhere; I have done what you hate.

Prayer of Manasses 1:10 In-Context

8 You, Lord, are the God of righteous people. Repentance was not necessary for Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, for they did not sin against you. But for sinners like me you have made repentance possible.

9 I have committed more sins than there are grains of sand along the seashore. They are so many, Lord, they are so many. I have done so much that is wrong that I am not worthy to turn my face toward heaven.

10 I am crushed beneath the weight of my sin; I am bowed down by its heavy iron chain. I can find no relief, for I have made you angry. I have set up idols everywhere; I have done what you hate.

11 But now I bow in deep humility, praying for your mercy.

12 I have sinned, Lord, I have sinned; I confess the wicked things I have done.
