Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto the LORD, saying,

And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that the word of the LORD came to him, saying,

And when he was in affliction, he besought the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,

And prayed unto him: and he was intreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD he was God.

His prayer also, and how God was intreated of him, and all his sin, and his trespass, and the places wherein he built high places, and set up groves and graven images, before he was humbled: behold, they are written among the sayings of the seers.

O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?

For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?

Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.

The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.

Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.

Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.

Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.

LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.

What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him: and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.

But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.

And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.

The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.

Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.

For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee.

Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice.

Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.

I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God.

And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,

Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job.

So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the LORD commanded them: the LORD also accepted Job.

The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:

The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah.

Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.

Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,

For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.

The LORD render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness: for the LORD delivered thee into my hand to day, but I would not stretch forth mine hand against the LORD'S anointed.

The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.

If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?

He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.

And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.
