Daniel 2:22

20 Daniel answered and said:
^a“Blessed be the name of God forever and ever,
^bFor wisdom and might are His.

21 And He changes ^athe times and the seasons;
^bHe removes kings and raises up kings;
^cHe gives wisdom to the wise
And knowledge to those who have understanding.

22 ^aHe reveals deep and secret things;
^bHe knows what is in the darkness,
And ^clight dwells with Him.

23 “I thank You and praise You,
O God of my fathers;
You have given me wisdom and might,
And have now made known to me what we ^aasked of You,
For You have made known to us the king’s¹ demand.”
