Tobit’s Thanksgiving to God

13Then Tobit^* said:
‘Blessed be God who lives for ever,
   because his kingdom^* lasts throughout all ages.
¹⁰ Acknowledge the Lord, for he is good,^*
   and bless the King of the ages,
   so that his tent^* may be rebuilt in you in joy.
May he cheer all those within you who are captives,
   and love all those within you who are distressed,
   to all generations for ever.
¹¹ A bright light will shine to all the ends of the earth;
   many nations will come to you from far away,
the inhabitants of the remotest parts of the earth to your holy name,
   bearing gifts in their hands for the King of heaven.
Generation after generation will give joyful praise in you;
   the name of the chosen city will endure for ever.
