Tobit 8:4-6

Good News Translation

⁴ When Tobias and Sarah were alone behind closed doors, Tobias got up from the bed and said to his wife,
            Get up, dear. Let's pray for the Lord to be merciful and to protect us. ^5 (A)Sarah got up so that they could pray together and ask God for his protection. Then Tobias prayed:
    God of our ancestors, you are worthy of praise.
    May your name be honored forever and ever
        by all your creatures in heaven and on earth.
^{6     (B)}You created Adam and gave him his wife Eve
        to be his helper and support.
    They became the parents of the whole human race.
    You said,
            It is not good for man to live alone.
        I will make a suitable helper for him.
