“He (Daniel) said, ‘Praise the name of God forever and ever, for He has al wisdom and power. He controls the course of the world events; He removes kings and set up other kings. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the scholars. He reveals deep and mysterious things and knows what lies hidden in the darkness, though He is surrounded by light. I think and praise You, God of my ancestors, for You have given me wisdom and strength. You have old me what we asked of you and revealed to us what the king demanded.'” (vv. 20-23, NLT)
