Tobit 8:16-18

Good News Translation

¹⁶ I praise you because you have made me glad;
    you have been merciful to us,
    and my worst fears did not come true.
¹⁷ You deserve our praise, O Lord;
    you were merciful to this young couple,
    the only children of their parents.
Now, grant them your mercy and protection.
Let them live out their lives in happiness and love.

¹⁸ Then Raguel ordered his servants to fill in the grave before dawn.
