1THen Tobit wrote a prayer of reioycing, and said, Blessed be God that liueth for euer, & blessed be his kingdome. 2For he doeth scourge, and hathe pitie: he leadeth to hel, and bringeth vp, nether is there anie that can auoide his hand. 3Confesse him before the Gentiles, ye children of Israel: for he hathe scattred you among them. 4There declare his greatnes, and extoll him before all the liuing: for he is our Lord and our God & our father for euer. 5He hathe scourged vs for our iniquities, and wil haue mercie againe, & wil gather vs out of all nacions, among whome we are scattred. 6If you turne to him with your whole heart, and with your whole minde, and deale vprightly before him, then wil he turne vnto you, and wil not hide his face from you, but ye shal se what he wil do with you: therefore confesse him with your whole mouth, and praise the Lord of righteousnes, and extoll the euerlasting King. I wil confesse him in the land of my captiuitie, and wil declare his power, & greatnes to a sinful nacion. O ye sinners, turne & do iustice before him: who can tel if he wil receiue you to mercie, and haue pitie on you? 7I wil extoll my God, and my soule shal praise the King of heauen, and shal reioyce in his greatnes. 8Let all men speake, and let all praise him for his righteousnes. 9O Ierusalem the holie citie, he wil scourge thee for thy childrens workes, but he wil haue pitie againe on the sonnes of righteous men. 10Giue praise to the Lord duely, & praise the euerlasting King, that his tabernacle may be buylded in thee againe with ioye: and let him make ioyful there in thee those that are captiues, and loue in thee for euer those that be miserable. 11Manie nacions shal come from farre to the Name of the Lord God, with giftes in their hands, euen giftes to the King of heauen: all generacions shal praise thee, & giue signes of ioye. 12Cursed are all they, which hate thee: but blessed are they for euer which loue thee. 13Reioyce, and be glad for the children of the iuste: for thei shalbe gathered, and shal blesse the Lord of the iuste. 14Blessed are they which loue thee: for thei shal reioyce in thy peace. Blessed are they which haue bene sorowful for all thy scourges: for they shal reioyce for thee, when they shal se all thy glorie, and shal reioyce for euer. 15Let my soule blesse God the great King. 16For Ierusalem shalbe buylt vp with sapphires, and emerodes, and thy walles with pretious stones, and thy towres, and thy bulwarkes with pure golde. 17And the streetes of Ierusalem shalbe paued with beral, and carbuncle, and stones of Ophir. 18And all her streetes shal say, Halleluiah, and they shal praise him, saying, Blessed be God which hathe extolled it for euer.
