Daniel 2:23

2:23 O God of my fathers, I acknowledge and glorify you,

for you have bestowed wisdom and power on me.

Now you have enabled me to understand what I ¹  requested from you.

For you have enabled me to understand the king’s dilemma.” ² 

Daniel 9:15

9:15 “Now, O Lord our God, who brought your people out of the land of Egypt with great power ³  and made a name for yourself that is remembered to this day – we have sinned and behaved wickedly.

[2:23]  ¹ tn Aram “we.” Various explanations have been offered for the plural, but it is probably best understood as the editorial plural; so also with “me” later in this verse.

[2:23]  ² tn Aram “the word of the king.”

[9:15]  ³ tn Heb “with a powerful hand.”
