Daniele 2:20 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 2:20

Daniel answered and said
That is, he began his prayer, as Jacchiades observes, or his thanksgiving, and expressed it in the following manner: blessed be the name of God for ever and ever:
a form of blessing God, or a wish that he may be blessed by men for evermore; for there is that in his name, in his nature, in his perfections, and in his works, which require that praise be given him now, and to all eternity: for wisdom and might are his;
"wisdom" in forming the scheme of things, and "might" or power in the execution of them; "wisdom" in revealing the secret of the dream to Daniel, and "might" to accomplish the various events predicted in it: for what Daniel here and afterwards observes has a very peculiar regard to the present affair, for which his heart was warm with gratitude and thankfulness.

Daniele 2:20 In-Context

18 Ed essi chiesero misericordia all’Iddio del cielo, intorno a questo segreto; acciocchè Daniele, e i suoi compagni non fosser messi a morte con gli altri savi di Babilonia.
19 Allora il segreto fu rivelato a Daniele, in vision notturna. In quello stante Daniele benedisse l’Iddio del cielo.
20 E Daniele prese a dire: Sia il Nome di Dio benedetto di secolo in secolo; perciocchè a lui si appartiene la sapienza, e la potenza;
21 ed egli muta i tempi, e le stagioni; egli rimuove i re, e altresì li stabilisce; egli dà la sapienza a’ savi, e il conoscimento a quelli che son dotati d’intendimento.
22 Egli palesa le cose profonde ed occulte; egli conosce quel ch’è nelle tenebre, e la luce abita appo lui.
