1Darius was vibin' and decided to put 120 princes in charge of the whole kingdom, no cap.

2And there were three big bosses over them, with Daniel being the top dog, so the princes had to report to them, keeping the king chill.

3Daniel was the GOAT, getting all the clout above the other presidents and princes 'cause he had mad rizz; the king wanted him to run the whole show.

4The other presidents and princes were sus, trying to find dirt on Daniel, but they couldn’t find anything; dude was straight-up loyal, no mistakes.

5So these guys were like, "We can't catch Daniel slipping unless it’s about his God’s law."

6Then all the presidents and princes got together and said to the king, "Darius, you’re the real one, live forever."

7All the kingdom’s big shots teamed up to make a royal rule: if anyone asks for help from any god or human for 30 days, except you, O king, they’re getting tossed into the lion’s den.

8So, king, just sign this decree and make it official, 'cause the Medes and Persians don’t change their laws, periodt.

9King Darius went ahead and signed the decree, no cap.

10When Daniel saw the decree was signed, he went home, opened his windows facing Jerusalem, and prayed three times a day, thanking God like he always did.

11So these dudes gathered up and caught Daniel straight up praying and asking his God for help.

12They rolled up to the king, like, "Yo, didn’t you sign that rule saying no one can ask any God or person for stuff for thirty days, except you, O king? If they do, they’re getting tossed into the lion squad." The king was like, "No cap, that’s true according to the Medes and Persians, and it’s set in stone."

13Then they were like, "That Daniel, from Judah’s squad, doesn’t care about you, O king, or your rule; he’s asking his God three times a day."

14When the king heard this, he was super upset with himself and was trying hard to save Daniel, grinding until sunset to figure it out.

15Then these guys came back to the king and said, "Listen, O king, you know the Medes and Persians' law is that no decree or rule you make can be switched up."

16The king gave the order, and they threw Daniel into the lion den. The king was like, "Your God, whom you serve non-stop, will pull through for you."

17A stone was rolled over the lion den's entrance, and the king sealed it with his signet and his crew's signets so that nothing could change for Daniel.

18Then the king went home and spent the night fasting; no music vibes, and he couldn’t sleep at all.

19The king woke up super early in the morning and rushed to the lion den.

20When he got there, he yelled out to Daniel in a sad voice, saying, "O Daniel, servant of the living God, is your God who you serve non-stop able to save you from the lions?"

21Daniel was like, "Yo king, live your best life forever."

22My God sent an angel to shut those lions up, so they didn't even touch me; I was innocent, no cap, and didn’t do anything wrong in your eyes, king.

23The king was super hyped for Daniel and told them to pull him out of the den. Daniel came out, and he was all good ‘cause he had mad faith in his God.

24The king was like, "Bet," and brought in the guys who tried to snitch on Daniel, tossing them and their fam into the lion’s den; the lions went savage and broke their bones before they hit the bottom.

25King Darius hit up everyone, saying, "Peace out to all the vibes on Earth."

26I decree that in my kingdom, everyone better fear and respect the God of Daniel; He’s the real deal, forever goated, and His kingdom is unbreakable, going strong till the end.

27He saves and rescues, popping off with signs and wonders in heaven and earth, and He pulled Daniel from the lions’ grip.

28So Daniel was thriving under Darius’s rule and Cyrus the Persian too.

1It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom;

2And over these three presidents; of whom Daniel was first: that the princes might give accounts unto them, and the king should have no damage.

3Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.

4Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.

5Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God.

6Then these presidents and princes assembled together to the king, and said thus unto him, King Darius, live for ever.

7All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and the princes, the counsellors, and the captains, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any God or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.

8Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.

9Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.

10Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.

11Then these men assembled, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God.

12Then they came near, and spake before the king concerning the king’s decree; Hast thou not signed a decree, that every man that shall ask a petition of any God or man within thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.

13Then answered they and said before the king, That Daniel, which is of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the decree that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times a day.

14Then the king, when he heard these words, was sore displeased with himself, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him: and he laboured till the going down of the sun to deliver him.

15Then these men assembled unto the king, and said unto the king, Know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is, That no decree nor statute which the king establisheth may be changed.

16Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee.

17And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that the purpose might not be changed concerning Daniel.

18Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting: neither were instruments of musick brought before him: and his sleep went from him.

19Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste unto the den of lions.

20And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice unto Daniel: and the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions?

21Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever.

22My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions’ mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.

23Then was the king exceeding 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 manner of hurt was found upon him, because he believed in his God.

24And the king commanded, and they brought those men which had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and brake all their bones in pieces or ever they came at the bottom of the den.

25Then king Darius wrote unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you.

26I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, and stedfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end.

27He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.

28So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
