25 Afterward, King Darius wrote to all people, nations, and languages who lived throughout his realm:

“May great prosperity be yours!

26 “I hereby decree that in every area of my kingdom men[a] are to fear and tremble before the God of Daniel.

For he is the living God,
    who endures forever.
His kingdom is one that will not be destroyed,
    and his dominion continues forever.
27 He delivers and rescues
    and performs signs and wonders
        in heaven and on earth.
He has delivered Daniel
    from the power of the lions.”
