Nebuchadnezzar Praises God

34 And aat the end of the time I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me; and I blessed the Most High and praised and honored Him bwho lives forever:
For His dominion is can everlasting dominion,
And His kingdom is from generation to generation. 
35 aAll the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing;
bHe does according to His will in the army of heaven
And among the inhabitants of the earth.
cNo one can restrain His hand
Or say to Him, d“What have You done?”  
36 At the same time my reason returned to me, aand for the glory of my kingdom, my honor and splendor returned to me. My counselors and nobles resorted to me, I was brestored to my kingdom, and excellent majesty was cadded to me.  
37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, apraise and extol and honor the King of heaven, ball of whose works are truth, and His ways justice. cAnd those who walk in pride He is able to put down.

Daniel 4:36

An inscription in the East India Company's Museum is read as describing the period of Nebuchadnezzar's insanity [G. V. SMITH]. In the so-called standard inscription read by SIR H. RAWLINSON, Nebuchadnezzar relates that during four (?) years he ceased to lay out buildings, or to furnish with victims Merodach's altar, or to clear out the canals for irrigation. No other instance in the cuneiform inscriptions occurs of a king recording his own inaction.

my counsellors . . . sought unto me—desired to have me, as formerly, to be their head, wearied with the anarchy which prevailed in my absence (compare Note, see on Daniel 4:33); the likelihood of a conspiracy of the nobles is confirmed by this verse.

majesty was added—My authority was greater than ever before (Job 42:12; Proverbs 22:4; "added," Matthew 6:33).
