1 And Tobias the elder opening his mouth, blessed the Lord,
and said: Thou art great, O Lord, for ever, and thy kingdom is unto all ages:
2 For thou scourgest, and thou savest: thou leadest down to hell, and bringest up again:
and there is none that can escape thy hand.
3 Give glory to the Lord, ye children of Israel, and praise him in the sight of the
Gentiles:
4 Because he hath therefore scattered you among the Gentiles, who know not him, that you
may declare his wonderful works, and make them know that there is no other almighty God
besides him.
5 He hath chastised us for our iniquities: and he will save us for his own mercy.
6 See then what he hath done with us, and with fear and trembling give ye glory to him:
and extol the eternal King of worlds in your works.
7 As for me, I will praise him in the land of my captivity: because he hath shewn his
majesty toward a sinful nation.

shew his mercy to you.

rejoice for ever and ever.

of God, and bless him at all times in truth, and with all their power.

16 I will yet meditate that I may declare: for I am filled
as with a holy transport.
17 By a voice he saith: Hear me, ye divine offspring, and bud forth as the rose planted by
the brooks of waters.
18 Give ye a sweet odour as frankincense.

melody was increased.

hath increased our days from our mother's womb, and hath done with us according to his
mercy.

ever:

Song of the three Jews Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago
19 Then was Nabuchodonosor filled with fury: and the
countenance of his face was changed against Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, and he
commanded that the furnace should be heated seven times more than it had been accustomed
to be heated.
20 And he commanded the strongest men that were in his army, to bind the feet of Sidrach,
Misach, and Abdenago, and to cast them into the furnace of burning fire.
21 And immediately these men were bound and were cast into the furnace of burning fire,
with their coats, and their caps, and their shoes, and their garments.
22 For the king's commandment was urgent, and the furnace was heated exceedingly. And the
flame of the fire slew those men that had cast in Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago.
23 But these three men, that is, Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, fell down bound in the
midst of the furnace of burning fire.
24 And they walked in the midst of the flame, praising God and blessing the Lord.
25 Then Azarias standing up prayed in this manner, and opening his mouth in the midst of
the fire, he said:
26 Blessed art thou, O Lord, the God of our fathers, and thy name is worthy of praise, and
glorious for ever:
27 For thou art just in all that thou hast done to us, and all thy works are true, and thy
ways right, and all thy judgments true.
28 For thou hast executed true judgments in all the things that thou hast brought upon us,
and upon Jerusalem the holy city of our fathers: for according to truth and judgment, thou
hast brought all these things upon us for our sins.
29 For we have sinned, and committed iniquity, departing from thee: and we have trespassed
in all things:
30 And we have not hearkened to thy commandments, nor have we observed nor done as thou
hadst commanded us, that it might go well with us.
31 Wherefore all that thou hast brought upon us, and every thing that thou hast done to
us, thou hast done in true judgment:
32 And thou hast delivered us into the hands of our enemies that are unjust, and most
wicked, and prevaricators, and to a king unjust, and most wicked beyond all that axe upon
the earth.
33 And now we cannot open our mouths: we are become a shame and reproach to thy servants,
and to them that worship thee.
34 Deliver us not up for ever, we beseech thee, for thy name's sake, and abolish not thy
covenant.
35 And take not away thy mercy from us for the sake of Abraham thy beloved, and Isaac thy
servant, and Israel thy holy one:
36 To whom thou hast spoken, promising that thou wouldst multiply their seed as the stars
of heaven, and as the sand that is on the sea shore.
37 For we, O Lord, are diminished more than any nation, and are brought low in all the
earth this day for our sins.
38 Neither is there at this time prince, or leader, or prophet, or holocaust, or
sacrifice, or oblation, or incense, or place of firstfruits before thee,
39 That we may find thy mercy: nevertheless in a contrite heart and humble spirit let us
be accepted.
40 As in holocausts of rams, and bullocks, and as in thousands of fat lambs: so let our
sacrifice be made in thy sight this day, that it may please thee: for there is no
confusion to them that trust in thee.
41 And now we follow thee with all our heart, and we fear thee, and seek thy face.
42 Put us not to confusion, but deal. with us according to thy meekness, and according to
the multitude of thy mercies.
43 And deliver us according to thy wonderful works, and give glory to thy name, O Lord:
44 And let all them be confounded that shew evils to thy servants, let them be confounded
in all thy might, and let their strength be broken.
45 And let them know that thou art the Lord, the only God, and glorious over all the
world.
46 Now the king's servants that had cast them in, ceased not to heat the furnace with
brimstone, and tow, and pitch, and dry sticks,
47 And the flame mounted up above the furnace nine and forty cubits:
48 And it broke forth, and burnt such of the Chaldeans as it found near the furnace.
49 But the angel of the Lord went down with Azarias and his companions into the furnace:
and he drove the flame of the fire out of the furnace,
50 And made the midst of the furnace like the blowing of a wind bringing dew, and the fire
touched them not at all, nor troubled them, nor did them any harm.
51 Then these three as with one mouth praised, and glorified, and blessed God in the
furnace, saying:
52 Blessed art thou, O Lord the God of our fathers: and worthy to be praised, and
glorified, and exalted above all for ever: and blessed is the holy name of thy glory: and
worthy to be praised, and exalted above all in all ages.
53 Blessed art thou in the holy temple of thy glory: and exceedingly to be praised, and
exceeding glorious for ever.
54 Blessed art thou on the throne of thy kingdom, and exceedingly to be praised, and
exalted above all for ever.
55 Blessed art thou, that beholdest the depths, and sittest upon the cherubims: and worthy
to be praised and exalted above all for ever.
56 Blessed art thou in the firmament of heaven: and worthy of praise, and glorious for
ever.

73 O ye lightnings and clouds, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all for ever.
74 O let the earth bless the Lord: let it praise and exalt him above all for ever.
75 O ye mountains and hills, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all for ever.
76 O all ye things that spring up in the earth, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above
all for ever.
77 O ye fountains, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all for ever.
78 O ye seas and rivers, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all for ever.
79 O ye whales, and all that move in the waters, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him
above all for ever.
80 O all ye fowls of the air, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all for ever.
81 O all ye beasts and cattle, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all for ever.
82 O ye sons of men, bless the Lord., praise and exalt him above all for ever.
83 O let Israel bless the Lord: let them praise and exalt him above all for ever.
84 O ye priests of the Lord, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all for ever.
85 O ye servants of the Lord, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all for ever.
86 O ye spirits and souls of the just, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all for
ever.
87 O ye holy and humble of heart, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all for ever.
88 O Ananias, Azarias, and Misael, bless ye the Lord: praise and exalt him above all for
ever. For he hath delivered us from hell, and saved us out of the hand of death, and
delivered us out of the midst of the burning flame, and saved us out of the midst of the
fire.
89 O give thanks to the Lord, because he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever and
ever.
90 O all ye religious, bless the Lord the God of gods: praise him and give him thanks,
because his mercy endureth for ever and ever.
91 Then Nabuchodonosor the king was astonished, and rose up in haste, and said to his
nobles: Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered the
king, and said: True, O king.
92 He answered, and said: Behold I see four men loose, and walking in the midst of the
fire, and there is no hurt in them, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.
93 Then Nabuchodonosor came to the door of the burning fiery furnace, and said: Sidrach,
Misach, and Abdenago, ye servants of the most high God, go ye forth, and come. And
immediately Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago went out from the midst of the fire.
