Tobit 8:16-18

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

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.’
