If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.
If that's the case, our God whom we serve is able to rescue us from the blazing furnace, and he will rescue us from your power, O king.

📚 Historical Context
During the Babylonian exile, King Nebuchadnezzar built a massive golden image and commanded all people in his kingdom to worship it upon hearing music.

In this verse, they express their unwavering trust in God's ability to save them as they stand before the king.
