Tobit 8:15-17

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

‘Blessed are you, O God, with every pure blessing;
    let all your chosen ones bless you.^[b]
    Let them bless you for ever.
¹⁶ Blessed are you because you have made me glad.
    It has not turned out as I expected,
    but you have dealt with us according to your great mercy.
¹⁷ Blessed are you because you had compassion
    on two only children.
Be merciful to them, O Master, and keep them safe;
    bring their lives to fulfilment
    in happiness and mercy.’
