O thou king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour:
The most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom. It was not his own birth or talents which gave him the vast empire, as he thought. To make him unlearn his proud thought was the object of God's visitation on him.
And majesty - in the eyes of his subjects.
And glory - from his victories.
And honour - from the enlargement and decoration of the city.
