21 And he changes the times and the seasons,
    and he deposes kings and he sets up kings;
he gives wisdom[a] to wise men
    and knowledge to men who know understanding.
22 He reveals the deep and the hidden things;
    he knows what is in the darkness,
    and the light dwells with him.
23 To you, O God of my ancestors,[b]
    I give thanks and I give praises,
for the wisdom and the power you gave to me,
    and now you have made known to me
what we have asked from you,
    for you have made known to us the matter of the king.”
