Prayer of Manasseh O Lord, Almighty God of our fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and of their righteous seed; who hast made heaven and earth, with all the ornament thereof; who hast bound the sea by the word of thy commandment; who hast shut up the deep, and sealed it by thy terrible and glorious name; whom all men fear, and tremble before thy power; for the majesty of thy glory cannot be borne, and thine angry threatening toward sinners is importable: but thy merciful promise is unmeasurable and unsearchable; for thou art the most high Lord, of great compassion, longsuffering, very merciful, and repentest of the evils of men. Thou, O Lord, according to thy great goodness hast promised repentance and forgiveness to them that have sinned against thee: and of thine infinite mercies hast appointed repentance unto sinners, that they may be saved. Thou 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: for 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. I am bowed down with many iron bands, that I cannot life 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. Now therefore I bow the knee of mine heart, beseeching thee of grace. I have sinned, O Lord, I have sinned, and I acknowledge mine iniquities: wherefore, 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; and in me thou wilt shew all thy goodness: for thou wilt save me, that am unworthy, according to thy great mercy. Therefore I will praise thee for ever all the days of my life: for all the powers of the heavens do praise thee, and thine is the glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Prayer of Azariah-(KJV)-Apocrypha [1] And they walked in the midst of the fire, praising God, and blessing the Lord. [2] Then Azarias stood up, and prayed on this manner; and opening his mouth in the midst of the fire said, [3] Blessed art thou, O Lord God of our fathers: thy name is worthy to be praised and glorified for evermore: [4] For thou art righteous in all the things that thou hast done to us: yea, true are all thy works, thy ways are right, and all thy judgments truth. [5] In all the things that thou hast brought upon us, and upon the holy city of our fathers, even Jerusalem, thou hast executed true judgment: for according to truth and judgment didst thou bring all these things upon us because of our sins. [6] For we have sinned and committed iniquity, departing from thee. [7] In all things have we trespassed, and not obeyed thy commandments, nor kept them, neither done as thou hast commanded us, that it might go well with us. [8] Wherefore all that thou hast brought upon us, and every thing that thou hast done to us, thou hast done in true judgment. [9] And thou didst deliver us into the hands of lawless enemies, most hateful forsakers of God, and to an unjust king, and the most wicked in all the world. [10] And now we cannot open our mouths, we are become a shame and reproach to thy servants; and to them that worship thee. [11] Yet deliver us not up wholly, for thy name's sake, neither disannul thou thy covenant: [12] And cause not thy mercy to depart from us, for thy beloved Abraham's sake, for thy servant Issac's sake, and for thy holy Israel's sake; [13] To whom thou hast spoken and promised, that thou wouldest multiply their seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand that lieth upon the seashore. [14] For we, O Lord, are become less than any nation, and be kept under this day in all the world because of our sins. [15] Neither is there at this time prince, or prophet, or leader, or burnt offering, or sacrifice, or oblation, or incense, or place to sacrifice before thee, and to find mercy. [16] Nevertheless in a contrite heart and an humble spirit let us be accepted. [17] Like as in the burnt offerings of rams and bullocks, and like as in ten thousands of fat lambs: so let our sacrifice be in thy sight this day, and grant that we may wholly go after thee: for they shall not be confounded that put their trust in thee. [18] And now we follow thee with all our heart, we fear thee, and seek thy face. [19] Put us not to shame: but deal with us after thy lovingkindness, and according to the multitude of thy mercies. [20] Deliver us also according to thy marvellous works, and give glory to thy name, O Lord: and let all them that do thy servants hurt be ashamed; [21] And let them be confounded in all their power and might, and let their strength be broken; [22] And let them know that thou art God, the only God, and glorious over the whole world. [23] And the king's servants, that put them in, ceased not to make the oven hot with rosin, pitch, tow, and small wood; [24] So that the flame streamed forth above the furnace forty and nine cubits. [25] And it passed through, and burned those Chaldeans it found about the furnace. [26] But the angel of the Lord came down into the oven together with Azarias and his fellows, and smote the flame of the fire out of the oven; [27] And made the midst of the furnace as it had been a moist whistling wind, so that the fire touched them not at all, neither hurt nor troubled them. [28] Then the three, as out of one mouth, praised, glorified, and blessed, God in the furnace, saying, [29] Blessed art thou, O Lord God of our fathers: and to be praised and exalted above all for ever.
