Daniel 2:21-23

Good News Translation

²¹ He controls the times and the seasons;
    he makes and unmakes kings;
    it is he who gives wisdom and understanding.
²² He reveals things that are deep and secret;
    he knows what is hidden in darkness,
    and he himself is surrounded by light.
²³ I praise you and honor you, God of my ancestors.
You have given me wisdom and strength;
    you have answered my prayer
    and shown us what to tell the king.”
