My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him (h) innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done (i) no hurt.
(h) My just cause and uprightness in this thing in which I was charged, is approved by God.
(i) For he disobeyed the kings's wicked commandment in order to obey God, and so he did no injury to the king, who ought to command nothing by which God would be dishonoured.
