Daniel 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.

Daniel 2:20 In-Context

18 para que pedissem misericórdia ao Deus do céu sobre este mistério, a fim de que Daniel e seus companheiros não perecessem, juntamente com o resto dos sábios de Babilônia.
19 Então foi revelado o mistério a Daniel numa visão de noite; pelo que Daniel louvou o Deus do céu.
20 Disse Daniel: Seja bendito o nome de Deus para todo o sempre, porque são dele a sabedoria e a força.
21 Ele muda os tempos e as estações; ele remove os reis e estabelece os reis; é ele quem dá a sabedoria aos sábios e o entendimento aos entendidos.
22 Ele revela o profundo e o escondido; conhece o que está em trevas, e com ele mora a luz.
