19 Alors le secret fut révélé à Daniel dans une vision pendant la nuit. Et Daniel bénit le Dieu des cieux.

20 Daniel prit la parole et dit: Béni soit le nom de Dieu, d’éternité en éternité! A lui appartiennent la sagesse et la force.

21 C’est lui qui change les temps et les circonstances, qui renverse et qui établit les rois, qui donne la sagesse aux sages et la science à ceux qui ont de l’intelligence.

22 Il révèle ce qui est profond et caché, il connaît ce qui est dans les ténèbres, et la lumière demeure avec lui.

23 Dieu de mes pères, je te glorifie et je te loue de ce que tu m’as donné la sagesse et la force, et de ce que tu m’as fait connaître ce que nous t’avons demandé, de ce que tu nous as révélé le secret du roi.
