2 I am glad to tell aboutthe wonderful miraclesGod Most Highhas done for me.
3 His miracles are mightyand marvellous.He will rule for ever,and his kingdomwill never end.
4 I was enjoying a time of peace and prosperity,
5 when suddenly I had some horrifying dreams and visions.
6 Then I commanded every wise man in Babylonia to appear in my court, so they could explain the meaning of my dream.
7 After they arrived, I told them my dream, but they were not able to say what it meant.
8 Finally, a young man named Daniel came in, and I told him the dream. The holy gods had given him special powers, and I had renamed him Belteshazzar after my own god.
