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.
