35 THE SONG OF MANASSEH
| |||
| Refrain: | Full of compassion and mercy and love* is God, the Most High, the Almighty. | ||
| 1 |
O Lord Almighty and God of our forebears,* you who made heaven and earth in all their glory: | ||
| 2 |
All things tremble with awe at your presence,* before your great and mighty power. | ||
| 3 |
Immeasurable and unsearchable is your promise of mercy,* for you are God, Most High. | ||
| 4 |
You are full of compassion and very merciful,* and you relent at human suffering. | ||
| 5 |
O God, according to your great goodness,* you have promised repentance and forgiveness to those who have sinned against you. | ||
| 6 |
The sins I have committed against you,* are more in number than the sands of the sea. | ||
| 7 |
I am not worthy to look up and see the heavens,* because of my many sins and iniquities. | ||
| 8 |
And now my heart bows before you,* imploring your kindness upon me. | ||
| 9 |
I have sinned, O God, I have sinned,* and I acknowledge my transgressions. | ||
| 10 |
Unworthy as I am, I know that you will save me,* according to your great mercy. | ||
| 11 |
For all the host of heaven sings your praise,* and your glory is for ever and ever. | ||
| |||
|
Full of compassion and mercy and love* is God, the Most High, the Almighty. | |||
