20 “God is wise and powerful!
Praise him forever and ever.
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.”

“Blessed be the name of God from age to age,
for wisdom and power are his.(A)

deposes kings and sets up kings;
he gives wisdom to the wise
and knowledge to those who have understanding.(B)
22 He reveals deep and hidden things;
he knows what is in the darkness,
and light dwells with him.(C)
23 To you, O God of my ancestors,
I give thanks and praise,
for you have given me wisdom and power
and have now revealed to me what we asked of you,
for you have revealed to us what the king ordered.”

“Blessed be the name of God
from eternity past to eternity future!
For wisdom and power are his alone;
21 he brings the changes of seasons and times;

and knowledge to those with discernment.

for giving me wisdom and power,
and revealing to me what we wanted from you,
for giving us the answer for the king.”
