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 pidieran misericordia del Dios del cielo acerca de este misterio, a fin de que no perecieran Daniel y sus amigos con el resto de los sabios de Babilonia.

19 Entonces el misterio fue revelado a Daniel en una visión de noche. Daniel entonces bendijo al Dios del cielo.

20 Daniel habló, y dijo: Sea el nombre de Dios bendito por los siglos de los siglos, porque la sabiduría y el poder son de El.

21 El es quien cambia los tiempos y las edades; quita reyes y pone reyes; da sabiduría a los sabios, y conocimiento a los entendidos.

22 El es quien revela lo profundo y lo escondido; conoce lo que está en tinieblas, y la luz mora con El.
