CHAP. XIII.
A thanksgiuing of Tobit, who exhorteth all to praise the Lord.
1 Then Tobit wrote a prayer of reioycing, and
sayd, Blessed be God that liueth for euer, and
blessed be his kingdome.
2 noteFor he doeth scourge, and hath pitie: he
leadeth to hell, and bringeth vp, neither is there any
that can auoyde his hand.
3 C&obar;fesse him before the Gentiles, ye children
of Israel: for he hath scattered you among them.
4 There declare his greatnesse, and extoll him
before all the liuing: for he is our Lord & our God
and our Father for euer.
5 He hath scourged vs for our iniquities, and
will haue mercie againe, and wil gather vs out of all
nations, among whome we are scattered.
6 If you turne to him with your whole heart,
and with your whole minde, & deale vprightly before
him, then will he turne vnto you, and will not
hide his face from you, but ye shal see what he will
doe with you: therefore confesse him with your
whole mouth, & praise the Lord of righteousnes, &
extoll the euerlasting King. I wil c&obar;fesse him in the
land of my captiuitie, and will declare his power, &
greatnes to a sinfull nation. O ye sinners, turne and
do iustice before him: who can tell if he wil receiue
you to mercy, and haue pitie on you?
7 I will extoll my God, and my soule shall
prayse the King of heauen, and shall reioyce in his
greatnesse.
8 Let all men speake, and let all praise him for
his righteousnes.
9 O Ierusalem the holy citie, he will scourge
thee for thy childrens works, but he will haue pitie
againe on the sonnes of righteous men.
10 Giue prayse to the Lord duely, and praise the
euerlasting King, that his tabernacle may be buylded
in thee againe with ioy: and let him make ioyfull
there in thee those that are captiues, and loue
in thee for euer those that be miserable.
11 Many nations shall come from farre to the
Name of the Lord God, with gifts in their handes,
euen giftes to the King of heauen: all generations
shal praise thee, and giue signes of ioy.
12 Cursed are al they, which haue thee: but blessed
are they for euer which loue thee.
13 Reioyce, and be glad for the children of the
iust: for they shalbe gathered, and shall blesse the
Lord of the iust.
14 Blessed are they which loue thee: for they
shall reioyce in thy peace. Blessed are they which
haue bene sorowfull for all thy scourges: for they
shal reioyce for thee, when they shal see all thy glorie,
and shal reioyce for euer.
15 Let my soule blesse God the great King.
16 For Ierusalem shalbe built vp with sapphires,
& emeraudes, and thy walles with precious stones,
and thy towers, & thy bulwarkes with pure golde.
17 And the streetes of Ierusalem shall be paued
with berall, & carbuncle, and stones of note Ophir.
18 And all her streetes shal say, note Halleluiah, and
they shall prayse him, saying, Blessed be God which
hath extolled note it for euer.
