The Prayer of Manasseh is in Chapter 7 of the Didascalia, a 3rd century Syriac writing, much of it about Church order.
Judith Newman gives the
Didascalia's text of the Prayer of Manasseh on page 7 of her essay,
"Three Contexts for Reading Manasseh's Prayer in the Didascalia":
She writes in her introduction:
Most who encounter the Prayer of Manasseh do so in the context of one of the critical editions of the Bible in the apocrypha or deuterocanonical section, in which the prayer appears by itself or in worship as a canticle. Yet there is no unambiguous evidence for the Jewish liturgical use of the prayer independent of its context, and the two contexts in which we find it, in the early church orders and in a list of Odes appended to the book of Psalms in three manuscripts of the Greek Bible, are suggestive of two different uses.
The Didascalia is one of the "early Church orders" that she refers to above.
She wrote that she basically took her translation of the Didascalia's version of the Prayer from:
Arthur Voobus,
The Didascalia Apostolorum in Syriac I (CSCO 401/402; Leuven: Peeters: 1979)
In her translation, the Prayer of Manasseh begins:
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 closed the abyss and sealed it with your terrifying and glorious name;
4. at whom all shudder, and tremble before your power,
5. for the magnificence of your glory cannot be endured, and the wrath of your threat to sinners is intolerable;
6. yet immeasurable and unfathomable is your promised mercy,
7. for you are the Lord Most High, of great compassion, patient, and merciful, and relenting at human evil.
O Lord, according to your great kindness you have promised repentance and forgiveness to those who have sinned against you, and in the multitude of your mercies you have constituted repentance for sinners, for salvation.
She notes that besides the Didascalia, the Prayer of Manasseh also shows up in Greek the second sentence of verse 7 in the Didascalia, beginning "O Lord, according to your great kindness..." does not appear in the Prayer of Manasseh in the earliest Greek Biblical manuscripts' "Odes" section.
Margaret Gibson's 1903 translation of the Didascalia is here:
I read the Prayer of Manasseh on pages 38-39. It begins:
1. Lord God of my fathers! God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, and of their righteous seed,
2. who hast made the heavens with all their array,
3. who hast chained the sea and established it by the command of Thy word, who hast bound the abyss and hast sealed it by Thine awful and glorious name;
4. Thou before whose power everything trembles and shakes
5. because of the unbearable greatness of the splendour of Thy glory, and no man can bear to stand before the anger of Thy wrath against sinners;
6. whose mercies are infinite and measureless
7. for Thou art a Lord who is longsuffering and merciful and very gracious, and Thou regrettest the evils of the sons of man;
Thou, Lord, according to the kindness of Thy goodness, hast promised forgiveness to those who repent of their sins, and in the greatness of Thy mercies Thou hast appointed repentance for the salvation of sinners.
I read the DSS version of the Prayer of Manasseh. It is quite different than the LXX version, and is found on page 375 in

In the OSB, verse 7 says just:
"For You are the Lord Most High, and are tenderhearted, patient, very merciful, and who repent toward the evils of man."
It doesn't have the Didascalia's second sentence saying, "Thou, Lord, according to the kindness of Thy goodness..."
Verse 7 in the NRSV does have that second sentence, and begins it with, "
O Lord, according to your great goodness
you have promised repentance and forgiveness..."
It has a footnote noting that some authorities lack this sentence.
The NETS translation is here, and doesn't have the second sentence in Verse 7:
The Prayer of Manasseh in the Russian Synodal Version is here:

It does have the second sentence in verse 7, translating it as:
Ты, Господи, по множеству Твоей благости, обещал покаяние и отпущение согрешившим Тебе, и множеством щедрот Твоих определил покаяние грешникам во спасение.

It translates the second sentence of verse 7 as:
Ты́, Го́споди, по мно́жеству бла́гости твоея́ обѣща́лъ еси́ покая́нiе - и оставле́нiе согрѣши́вшымъ тебѣ́, и мно́жествомъ щедро́тъ твои́хъ опредѣли́лъ еси́ покая́нiе грѣ́шникомъ во спасе́нiе.
