Praise the name of God forever and ever,
    for he has all wisdom and power.
He controls the course of world events;
    he removes kings and sets up other kings.
He gives wisdom to the wise
    and knowledge to the scholars.
He reveals deep and mysterious things
    and knows what lies hidden in darkness,
    though he is surrounded by light.
I thank and praise you, God of my ancestors,
    for you have given me wisdom and strength.

The Word of the Lord is steadfast, sure and unchanging.
Praise the Lord, forevermore!

Based on the prayer of praise to the Lord found in Daniel 2.
