44  A Song of Tobit

Refrain:

All   See what the Lord our God has done

and exalt him in the sight of the living.

1    Blessed be God, who lives for ever,  ♦

whose reign endures throughout all ages.

2    Declare God’s praise before the nations,  ♦

you who are the children of Israel.

3    For if our God has scattered you among them,  ♦

there too has he shown you his greatness.

4    Exalt him in the sight of the living,  ♦

because he is our Lord and God and our Father for ever.

5    Though God punishes you for your wickedness,  ♦

mercy will be shown to you all.

6    God will gather you from every nation,  ♦

from wherever you have been scattered.

7    When you turn to the Lord

with all your heart and soul,  ♦

God will hide his face from you no more.

8    See what the Lord has done for you  ♦

and give thanks with a loud voice.

9    Praise the Lord of righteousness  ♦

and exalt the King of the ages.

Tobit 13.1,3,4-6a

All   Glory to the Father and to the Son

and to the Holy Spirit;

as it was in the beginning is now

and shall be for ever. Amen.

All   See what the Lord our God has done

and exalt him in the sight of the living.
