Tobit
13:1-8 Tuesday Morning 1
Blest be God who lives forever. * and blest be his kingdom.
He punishes, he also has mercy, * he leads men to the depths of Sheol.
He restores them from the great destruction; * no one can escape his hand.
Proclaim him, Israel's sons, amid the nations, * among whom you are scattered.
Tell them there about his greatness, * Praise him in the presence of all the living.
For he is your Lord, * and he is your Master.
He is your God * for all ages.
He punished you because of our sins, * but he will bring all of you back with mercy,
from all the nations, * among whom you were scattered.
If you return to him * with all your heart and soul * to do what is right,
then he will look upon you; * he will hide his face no longer.
Now see all he has done for you, * give thanks to him with all your voice.
Give praise to the Lord for his justice, * and exalt the King of the ages.
I thank him in this land of exile * and praise him,
and I tell of his greatness * and his might before a sinful people.
Do what is right before him. * Who knows but he will receive you with pardon?
My being exalts my God * and my soul the King of heaven * all the days of my life.
Let all praise his majesty, * and narrate with psalms * his greatness in Jerusalem.
