The King Praises and Extols the Most High God

• 34 “But at the end of that period,[fn] I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up my eyes to heaven, and then my reason returned to me; and I blessed the Most High and the one who lives forever[fn] I praised and I honored. “For his sovereignty is an everlasting sovereignty,
  • and his kingdom continues from generation to generation.
• And all the dwellers of the earth
  • are regarded as nothing,
• and he does[fn] his desire
  • in the host of heaven and among the dwellers of earth,  
• and there is not one who can hold back his hand,
  • or[fn] ‘What are you doing?’

“At that time[fn] my reason returned to me, and also the glory of my kingdom and my majesty and splendor returned to me, and my advisers and my lords[fn] searched me out, and I was established over my kingdom and abundant greatness was added to me. Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and honor the king of heaven, for all his works are truth,[fn] and his ways are justice and that he is able to humble those who walk in pride.”
