20He said,
“Praise God’s name from everlasting to everlasting
because he is wise and powerful.
21He changes times and periods of history.
He removes kings and establishes them.
He gives wisdom to those who are wise
and knowledge to those who have insight.
22He reveals deeply hidden things.
He knows what is in the dark,
and light lives with him.
