I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast [now] made known unto us the king's matter.
Ver. 23. I thank thee, and praise thee.] A gracious man is a grateful man; there is the same word in Greek (χαρις) for grace and gratitude. See on Daniel 2:22. A thankful man will enumerate God's mercies, and redouble his praises.
O thou God of my fathers.] The very best inheritance that we can leave our children is the true God.
Who hast given me wisdom and might.] Wisdom to dive into deep matters, and might to manage it.
