MSG(19-23)That night the answer to the mystery was given to Daniel in a vision. Daniel blessed the God of heaven, saying,
  “Blessed be the name of God,
  forever and ever.
He knows all, does all:
  He changes the seasons and guides history,
He raises up kings and also brings them down,
  he provides both intelligence and discernment,
He opens up the depths, tells secrets,
  sees in the dark—light spills out of him!
God of all my ancestors, all thanks! all praise!
  You made me wise and strong.
And now you’ve shown us what we asked for.
  You’ve solved the king’s mystery.”
