Prayer of Manasses 1:11

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

Prayer of Manasses 1:11 In-Context

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.

13 I beg you, Lord, I earnestly pray: forgive me, forgive me. Do not destroy me because of my sins; do not stay angry with me forever or store up punishment for me. Do not condemn me to the world of the dead, for you, O Lord, forgive those who repent.
