Daniel 6:18-23

New American Standard Bible

¹⁸ Then the king went to his palace and spent the night ^(A)fasting, and no entertainment was brought before him; and his ^(B)sleep fled from him.

¹⁹ Then the king got up at dawn, at the break of day, and went in a hurry to the lions’ den. ²⁰ And when he had come near the den to Daniel, he cried out with a troubled voice. The king began speaking and said to Daniel, “Daniel, servant of the living God, has ^(C)your God, whom you continually serve, been ^(D)able to rescue you from the lions?” ²¹ Then Daniel spoke ^[a]to the king, “^(E)O king, live forever! ²² My God ^(F)sent His angel and ^(G)shut the lions’ mouths, and they have not harmed me, since ^[b]I was found innocent before Him; and also ^[c]toward you, O king, I have committed no crime.” ²³ Then the king was very glad and gave orders for Daniel to be lifted up out of the den. So Daniel was lifted up out of the den, and ^(H)no injury whatever was found on him, because he had ^(I)trusted in his God.
