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 e lhes pediu que rogassem ao Deus dos céus que tivesse misericórdia acerca desse mistério, para que ele e seus amigos não fossem executados com os outros sábios da Babilônia.

19 Então o mistério foi revelado a Daniel de noite, numa visão. Daniel louvou o Deus dos céus

20 e disse:“Louvado seja o nome de Deus para todo o sempre;a sabedoria e o poder a ele pertencem.

21 Ele muda as épocas e as estações;destrona reis e os estabelece.Dá sabedoria aos sábiose conhecimento aos que sabem discernir.

22 Revela coisas profundas e ocultas;conhece o que jaz nas trevas,e a luz habita com ele.
