Daniel 2:21-23

New Century Version

²¹ He changes the times and seasons of the year.
    He takes away the power of kings
    and gives their power to new kings.
He gives wisdom to those who are wise
    and knowledge to those who understand.
²² He makes known secrets that are deep and hidden;
    he knows what is hidden in darkness,
    and light is all around him.
²³ I thank you and praise you, God of my ancestors,
    because you have given me wisdom and power.
You told me what we asked of you;
    you told us about the king’s dream.”
