Nebuchadnezzar Praises God

34 When that period was over, I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted my eyes to heaven, and my reason returned to me.

I blessed the Most High
    and praised and honored the one who lives forever.
For his sovereignty is an everlasting sovereignty,
    and his kingdom endures from generation to generation.(A)
35 All the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing,
    and he does what he wills with the host of heaven
    and the inhabitants of the earth.
There is no one who can stay his hand
    or say to him, “What have you done?”(B)

36 At that time my reason returned to me, and my majesty and splendor were restored to me for the glory of my kingdom. My counselors and my lords sought me out, I was reestablished over my kingdom, and still more greatness was added to me.(C) 37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven,

for all his works are truth,
    and his ways are justice;
he is able to bring low
    those who walk in pride.(D)

34 At the end of that time, I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven, and my sanity(A) was restored. Then I praised the Most High; I honored and glorified him who lives forever.(B)

His dominion is an eternal dominion;
    his kingdom(C) endures from generation to generation.(D)
35 All the peoples of the earth
    are regarded as nothing.(E)
He does as he pleases(F)
    with the powers of heaven
    and the peoples of the earth.
No one can hold back(G) his hand(H)
    or say to him: “What have you done?”(I)

36 At the same time that my sanity was restored, my honor and splendor were returned to me for the glory of my kingdom.(J) My advisers and nobles sought me out, and I was restored to my throne and became even greater than before. 37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt(K) and glorify(L) the King of heaven, because everything he does is right and all his ways are just.(M) And those who walk in pride(N) he is able to humble.(O)

32 They brought to him a deaf man who had an impediment in his speech, and they begged him to lay his hand on him.(A) 33 He took him aside in private, away from the crowd, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat and touched his tongue.(B) 34 Then looking up to heaven, he sighed and said to him, “Ephphatha,” that is, “Be opened.”(C) 35 And his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly.(D) 36 Then Jesus[a] ordered them to tell no one, but the more he ordered them, the more zealously they proclaimed it.(E) 37 They were astounded beyond measure, saying, “He has done everything well; he even makes the deaf to hear and the mute to speak.”

32 There some people brought to him a man who was deaf and could hardly talk,(A) and they begged Jesus to place his hand on(B) him.

33 After he took him aside, away from the crowd, Jesus put his fingers into the man’s ears. Then he spit(C) and touched the man’s tongue. 34 He looked up to heaven(D) and with a deep sigh(E) said to him, “Ephphatha!” (which means “Be opened!”). 35 At this, the man’s ears were opened, his tongue was loosened and he began to speak plainly.(F)

36 Jesus commanded them not to tell anyone.(G) But the more he did so, the more they kept talking about it. 37 People were overwhelmed with amazement. “He has done everything well,” they said. “He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.”

By your favor, O Lord,
    you had established me as a strong mountain;
you hid your face;
    I was dismayed.(A)

To you, O Lord, I cried,
    and to the Lord I made supplication:
“What profit is there in my death,
    if I go down to the Pit?
Will the dust praise you?
    Will it tell of your faithfulness?(B)
10 Hear, O Lord, and be gracious to me!
    O Lord, be my helper!”[a]

    you have taken off my sackcloth
    and clothed me with joy,(C)
12 so that my soul[b] may praise you and not be silent.
    O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever.(D)
