00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.080
The prayer of Manasseh, O Lord, Almighty God

00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:08.779
of our fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and

00:00:08.779 --> 00:00:11.199
of their righteous seed, who hast made heaven

00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:14.919
and earth, with all the ornament thereof, who

00:00:14.919 --> 00:00:18.260
hast bound the sea by the word of thy commandment,

00:00:18.899 --> 00:00:22.820
who hast shut up the deep, and sealed it by thy

00:00:22.820 --> 00:00:26.800
terrible and glorious name, whom all men fear

00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:30.600
and tremble before thy power. for the majesty

00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:34.159
of thy glory cannot be borne, and thine angry

00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:37.920
threatening towards sinners is importable. But

00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:42.420
thy merciful promise is unmeasurable and unsearchable,

00:00:43.020 --> 00:00:47.640
for thou art the most high, Lord, of great compassion,

00:00:48.380 --> 00:00:51.939
long -suffering, very merciful, and repentist

00:00:51.939 --> 00:00:55.719
of the evils of men. Thou, O Lord, according

00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:58.960
to thy great goodness, hast promised repentance

00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:01.560
and forgiveness to them that have sinned against

00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:05.459
thee, and of thine infinite mercies hast appointed

00:01:05.459 --> 00:01:08.799
repentance unto sinners, that they may be saved.

00:01:09.579 --> 00:01:13.379
Thou, therefore, O Lord, that art the God of

00:01:13.379 --> 00:01:16.780
the just, hast not appointed repentance to the

00:01:16.780 --> 00:01:21.859
just as to Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, which

00:01:21.859 --> 00:01:25.319
have not sinned against thee, but thou hast appointed

00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:30.400
repentance unto me that am a sinner, for I have

00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:33.560
sinned above the number of the sands of the sea.

00:01:34.340 --> 00:01:38.099
My transgressions, O Lord, are multiplied, and

00:01:38.099 --> 00:01:40.819
I am not worthy to behold and see the height

00:01:40.819 --> 00:01:43.859
of heaven for the multitude of mine iniquities.

00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:48.719
I am bowed down with many iron bands that I cannot

00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:51.599
lift up mine head, neither have any release,

00:01:52.299 --> 00:01:55.379
for I have provoked thy wrath and done evil before

00:01:55.379 --> 00:01:58.659
thee. I did not thy will, neither kept I thy

00:01:58.659 --> 00:02:01.980
commandments. I have set up abominations, and

00:02:01.980 --> 00:02:05.159
have multiplied offenses. Now therefore I bow

00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:08.539
the knee of mine heart, beseeching thee of grace.

00:02:09.580 --> 00:02:13.479
I have sinned, O Lord, I have sinned, and I acknowledge

00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:17.419
mine iniquities. Wherefore I humbly beseech thee,

00:02:18.020 --> 00:02:20.979
forgive me, O Lord, forgive me, and destroy me

00:02:20.979 --> 00:02:25.060
not with mine iniquities. Be not angry with me

00:02:25.060 --> 00:02:29.639
forever. by reserving evil for me, neither condemn

00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:32.759
me to the lower parts of the earth, for thou

00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:35.979
art the God, even the God of them that repent,

00:02:36.939 --> 00:02:40.639
and in me thou wilt show all thy goodness, for

00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:44.120
thou wilt save me that am unworthy, according

00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:48.039
to thy great mercy. Therefore I will praise thee

00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:52.360
forever, all the days of my life. For all the

00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:55.960
powers of the heavens do praise thee. And thine

00:02:55.960 --> 00:03:00.780
is the glory, forever and ever. Amen.
