19 Then the (A)king arose very early in the morning and went in haste to the den of lions. 20 And when he came to the den, he cried out with a [a]lamenting voice to Daniel. The king spoke, saying to Daniel, “Daniel, servant of the living God, (B)has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to deliver you from the lions?”

21 Then Daniel said to the king, (C)“O king, live forever! 22 (D)My God sent His angel and (E)shut the lions’ mouths, so that they have not hurt me, because I was found innocent before Him; and also, O king, I have done no wrong before you.”

23 Now the king was exceedingly glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no injury whatever was found on him, (F)because he believed in his God.
