^k“Blessed be the name of God forever and ever,

^lto whom belong wisdom and might.

21  ^mHe changes times and seasons;

ⁿhe removes kings and sets up kings;

^ohe gives wisdom to the wise

^oand knowledge to those who have understanding;

22  ^phe reveals deep and hidden things;

^phe knows what is in the darkness,

^qand the light dwells with him.

23  To you, O ^rGod of my fathers,

^sI give thanks and praise,

for ^tyou have given me wisdom and might,

and have now made known to me what ^uwe asked of you,

for you have made known to us the king’s matter.”
