1 And Tobit wrote a prayer for rejoicing, and said, Blessed is God that lives for ever, And blessed is his kingdom.
2 For he scourges, and shows mercy: He leads down to the grave, and brings up again: And there is none that shall escape his hand.
3 Give thanks to him before the Gentiles, you⌃ children of Israel: For he has scattered us among them.
4 There declare his greatness, And extol him before all the living: Because he is our Lord, And God is our Father for ever.
5 And he will scourge us for our iniquities, and will again show mercy, And will gather us out of all the nations among whom you⌃ are scattered.
