1. Then Tobit sighed, and he began to pray with tears,
2. saying, "O Lord, you are just and all your judgments are just, and all your ways are mercy, and truth, and judgment.
3. And now, O Lord, remember me, and do not take vengeance for my sins, and do not call to mind my offenses, nor those of my parents.
4. For we have not obeyed your precepts, and so we have been handed over to plundering and to captivity, and to death, and to mockery, and as a disgrace before all the nations, among which you have dispersed us.
5. And now, O Lord, great are your judgments. For we have not acted according to your precepts, and we have not walked sincerely before you.
6. And now, O Lord, do with me according to your will, and order my spirit to be received in peace. For it is more expedient for me to die, than to live."
