20 Daniel said,

“May the name of God be (A)blessed forever and ever,
For (B)wisdom and power belong to Him.
21 It is He who (C)changes the times and the periods;
He (D)removes kings and appoints kings;
He gives (E)wisdom to wise men,
And knowledge to [a]people of understanding.
22 It is He who (F)reveals the profound and hidden things;
(G)He knows what is in the darkness,
And the (H)light dwells with Him.
23 To You, (I)God of my fathers, I give thanks and praise,
For You have given me (J)wisdom and power;
Even now You have made known to me what we (K)requested of You,
For You have made known to us the king’s matter.”

23 Ó Deus de meus pais, eu te louvo e celebro porque me deste sabedoria e força; e, agora, me fizeste saber o que te pedimos, porque nos fizeste saber este assunto do rei.

“Louvado seja o nome de Deus
    para todo o sempre;
a sabedoria e o poder a ele pertencem.

    destrona reis e os estabelece.
Dá sabedoria aos sábios

conhece o que jaz nas trevas,
    e a luz habita com ele.

    e me revelaste o que te pedimos,
revelaste-nos o sonho do rei”.
