Prayer of Manasseh 1:10
King James VersionSource notes
“Now therefore I bow the knee of mine heart, beseeching thee of grace.”
Context
7Thou therefore, O Lord, that art the God of the just, hast not appointed repentance to the just, as to Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, which have not sinned against thee; but thou hast appointed repentance unto me that am a sinner:
8for I have sinned above the number of the sands of the sea. My transgressions, O Lord, are multiplied: my transgressions are multiplied, and I am not worthy to behold and see the height of heaven for the multitude of mine iniquities.
9I am bowed down with many iron bands, that I cannot lift up mine head, neither have any release: for I have provoked thy wrath, and done evil before thee: I did not thy will, neither kept I thy commandments: I have set up abominations, and have multiplied offences.
10Now therefore I bow the knee of mine heart, beseeching thee of grace.
11I have sinned, O Lord, I have sinned, and I acknowledge mine iniquities:
12wherefore, I humbly beseech thee, forgive me, O Lord, forgive me, and destroy me not with mine iniquites. Be not angry with me for ever, by reserving evil for me; neither condemn me to the lower parts of the earth. For thou art the God, even the God of them that repent;
13and in me thou wilt shew all thy goodness: for thou wilt save me, that am unworthy, according to thy great mercy.
