³⁴ And at the end of the days, I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifting up my eyes to heaven, got back my reason, and, blessing the Most High, I gave praise and honour to him who is living for ever, whose rule is an eternal rule and whose kingdom goes on from generation to generation.

¹⁹ You, O Lord, are seated as King for ever; the seat of your power is eternal.

¹⁰ But the Lord is the true God; he is the living God and an eternal king: when he is angry, the earth is shaking with fear, and the nations give way before his wrath.

¹³ Your kingdom is an eternal kingdom, and your rule is through all generations.

²⁰ Like the nations which the Lord is cutting off before you, so you will be cut off; because you would not give ear to the voice of the Lord your God.

¹⁵ Which at the right time he will make clear, who is the eternal and only Ruler, King of kings, and Lord of lords;

¹⁶ Who only has life for ever, living in light to which no man may come near; whom no man has seen or is able to see: to whom be honour and power for ever. So be it.

²² For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our law-giver, the Lord is our king; he will be our saviour.

¹⁰ The Lord will be King for ever; your God, O Zion, will be King through all generations. Praise be to the Lord.

⁴³ You have made me free from the fightings of the people; you have made me the head of the nations: a people of whom I had no knowledge will be my servants.

⁴⁴ From the time when my name comes to their ears they will be ruled by me: men of other countries will, with false hearts, put themselves under my authority.

⁴⁵ They will be wasting away, they will come out of their secret places shaking with fear.

¹⁵ The nations have gone down into the hole which they made: in their secret net is their foot taken.

⁵ You have said sharp words to the nations, you have sent destruction on the sinners, you have put an end to their name for ever and ever.
