1 Then Tobit prayed:“Praise the eternal God,praise the one who rules.
2 He punishes us; then he shows us mercy.He sends us down to the world of the dead,then he brings us up from the grave.No one can escape his power.
3 “People of Israel, give thanks among the nations,where he sent you into exile;
4 even there he showed his great power.Let all who live hear your praise.The Lord is our God and father for ever.
