1. Then Tobit spoke and composed a song of joyful praise; he said:Blessed be God who lives forever,because his kingship lasts for all ages.
2. For he afflicts and shows mercy,casts down to the depths of Hades,brings up from the great abyss.What is there that can snatch from his hand?
3. Give thanks to him, you Israelites, in the presence of the nations,for though he has scattered you among them,
4. even there recount his greatness.Exalt him before every living being,because he is your Lord, and he is your God,our Father and God forever and ever!
