Extolling of God takes primate place among religiousness forms, as wit-nessed the Book of Psalms and Tobias’s Book in which prayer anthem let to get into the world of “prayer reminiscences”, extracting from it understated but suggested affinity of thoughts in the “biblical world”. The characteristic for this Tobias’s prayer is worshipping of God in the background of the dispersion which is not a kind of cult celebration but is connected with some value system of all Jewish community during the period of aQer exile and also reality of Jerusalem in its eschatological dimension outlined in Ezekiel’s temple vision and in apocalypse of Deutroizaiah. His anthem’s reminiscences in other biblical books let to enlarge Tobias’s “back-ground”, presented in his deutro-canonical book, to other prayer forms and extract from them new semantic dimensions, which with their meaning and “telling” nar-ration join in historical narration saving activity of God.
