25 (A)Then King Darius wrote:

To all peoples, nations, and languages that dwell in all the earth:

Peace be multiplied to you.

26 (B)I make a decree that in every dominion of my kingdom men must (C)tremble and fear before the God of Daniel.

(D)For He is the living God,
And steadfast forever;
His kingdom is the one which shall not be (E)destroyed,
And His dominion shall endure to the end.
27 He delivers and rescues,
(F)And He works signs and wonders
In heaven and on earth,
Who has delivered Daniel from the [a]power of the lions.

28 So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius (G)and in the reign of (H)Cyrus the Persian.
