Prayers of Repentance

Prayer of Manasseh     |    God is Love    |    Heal me Lord

Prayer of Manasseh © NRSV Apocrypha

1.     O Lord Almighty, 
    God of our ancestors, 
    of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob 
    and of their righteous offspring; 
2      you who made heaven and earth 
    with all their order; 
3      who shackled the sea by your word of command, 
    who confined the deep 
    and sealed it with your terrible and glorious name; 
4      at whom all things shudder, 
    and tremble before your power, 
5      for your glorious splendour cannot be borne, 
    and the wrath of your threat to sinners is unendurable; 
6      yet immeasurable and unsearchable 
    is your promised mercy, 
7      for you are the Lord Most High, 
    of great compassion, long-suffering, and very merciful, 
    and you relent at human suffering. 
    O Lord, according to your great goodness 
    you have promised repentance and forgiveness 
    to those who have sinned against you, 
    and in the multitude of your mercies 
    you have appointed repentance for sinners, 
    so that they may be saved. 
8      Therefore you, O Lord, God of the righteous, 
    have not appointed repentance for the righteous, 
    for Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, who did not sin against you, 
    but you have appointed repentance for me, who am a sinner. 
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 not worthy 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 your wrath 
    and have done what is evil in your sight, 
    setting up abominations and multiplying offences. 
11      And now I bend the knee of my heart, 
    imploring you for your kindness. 
12      I have sinned, O Lord, I have sinned, 
    and I acknowledge my transgressions. 
13      I earnestly implore you, 
    forgive me, O Lord, forgive me! 
    Do not destroy me with my transgressions! 
    Do not be angry with me forever or store up evil for me; 
    do not condemn me to the depths of the earth. 
    For you, O Lord, are the God of those who repent, 
14      and in me you will manifest your goodness; 
    for, unworthy as I am, you will save me according to your great mercy, 
15      and I will praise you continually all the days of my life. 
    For all the host of heaven sings your praise, 
    and yours is the glory forever. Amen.
