Tobit’s Prayer

Then with much grief and anguish of heart I wept, and with groaning I began to pray:

“You are righteous, O Lord,
    and all your deeds are just;
all your ways are mercy and truth;
    you judge the world.[a](A)
And now, O Lord, may you be mindful of me
    and look favorably upon me.
Do not punish me for my sins
    or for my unwitting offenses
    or for those of my ancestors.
They sinned against you(B)
