I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast now made known unto us the king’s matter.
I'm so grateful to you, God of my ancestors, you gave me the wisdom and strength I needed, and you actually showed me what we asked you for. You revealed the king's whole situation to us.
When you ask God for wisdom, he doesn't leave you hanging.
