O Blessed Daniel

Speak with me, O blessed Daniel.
Give me full assurance, I beseech thee.
Thou does prophesy concerning the lioness in Babylon;
For thou was a captive there.
Thou has unfolded the future regarding the bear;
For thou was still in the world,
And did see the things come to pass.
Then thou spoke to me of the leopard;
And whence can thou know this,
For thou art already gone to thy rest?
Who instructed thee to announce these things,
But He who formed thee in (from) thy mother's womb?
That is God, thou said.
Thou has spoken indeed, and that not falsely.
The leopard has arisen;
The he-goat is come;
He hath broken his horns in pieces;
He hath stamped upon him with his feet.
He has been exalted by his fall;
The four horns have come up from under that one.
Rejoice, blessed Daniel!
Thou has not been in error:
All these things have come to pass.
After this again thou has told me of the beast dreadful and terrible.
It had iron teeth and claws of brass:
It devoured and brake in pieces,
And stamped the residue with the feet of it.'
Already the iron rules;
Already it subdues and breaks all in pieces;
Already it brings all the unwilling into subjection;
Already we see these things ourselves.
Now we glorify God, being instructed by thee."
