20 Daniel said,
“Let the name of God be (A)blessed forever and ever,
For (B)wisdom and power belong to Him.
21
“It is He who (C)changes the times and the epochs;
He (D)removes kings and (a)establishes kings;
He gives (E)wisdom to wise men
And knowledge to (b)men of understanding.
22
“It is He who (F)reveals the profound and hidden things;
(G)He knows what is in the darkness,
And the (H)light dwells with Him.
23
“To You, O (I)God of my fathers, I give thanks and praise,
For You have given me (J)wisdom and power;
Even now You have made known to me what we (K)requested of You,
For You have made known to us the king’s matter.”
