Daniel 6 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Then ^H116 these ^H459 commissioners ^H5632 and satraps ^H324 came ^H7284 [fn]by ^H7284 agreement ^H7284 to the king ^H4430 and spoke ^H560 to him as ^H3652 follows ^H3652: “King ^H4430 Darius ^H1868, live ^H2418 forever ^H5957!

Now when ^H1768 Daniel ^H1841 learned ^H3046 that the document ^H3792 was signed ^H7560, he entered ^H5954 his house ^H1005 (and in ^H5954 his roof ^H5952 chamber ^H5952 he had windows ^H3551 open ^H6606 toward ^H5049 Jerusalem ^H3390); and he continued kneeling ^H1289 on his knees ^H1291 three ^H8532 times ^H2166 a day ^H3118, praying ^H6739 and offering ^H3029 praise ^H3029 before ^H6925 his God ^H426, just ^H6903 as he had been doing ^H5648 previously ^H4481 H6928.

Then ^H116, as soon ^H1768 as the king ^H4430 heard ^H8086 this statement ^H4406, he was deeply ^H7690 distressed ^H888, and set ^H7761 his mind ^H1079 on rescuing ^H7804 Daniel ^H1841; and until ^H5705 sunset ^H4606 H8122 he kept exerting ^H7712 himself to save ^H5338 him.

Then ^H116 the king ^H4430 gave ^H560 orders ^H560, and Daniel ^H1841 was brought ^H858 in and thrown ^H7412 into the lions’ ^H744 den ^H1358. The king ^H4430 said ^H560 to Daniel ^H1841, “[fn]Your God ^H426 whom ^H1768 you continually ^H8411 serve ^H6399 will Himself ^H1932 rescue ^H7804 you.”

Then ^H116 the king ^H4430 got ^H6966 up ^H6966 at dawn ^H8238, at the break ^H5053 of ^H5053 day ^H5053, and went ^H236 in a hurry ^H927 to the lions’ ^H744 den ^H1358.

Then ^H116 Darius ^H1868 the king ^H4430 wrote ^H3790 to all ^H3606 the peoples ^H5972, nations ^H524, and populations of all [fn]languages ^H3961 who ^H1768 were living ^H1753 in all ^H3606 the land ^H772: “May your [fn]peace ^H8001 be great ^H7680!

For He is the living ^H2417 God ^H426 and enduring ^H7011 forever ^H5957,

And His kingdom ^H4437 is one which ^H1768 will not be destroyed ^H2255,

And His dominion ^H7985 will be [fn]forever ^H5491.

“He rescues ^H7804, saves ^H5338, and performs ^H5648 signs ^H852 and miracles ^H8540

In heaven ^H8065 and on earth ^H772,

He who ^H1768 has also rescued ^H7804 Daniel ^H1841 from the [fn]power ^H3028 of the lions ^H744.”

So this ^H1836 Daniel ^H1841 enjoyed ^H6744 success ^H6744 in the reign ^H4437 of Darius ^H1868, and in the reign ^H4437 of Cyrus ^H3567 the Persian ^H6543.
