[His kingdom was the gift of God]

The most high God gave to Nebuchadnezzar a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour. Daniel v. 18.

And They took his glory from him. Verse 20.

His kingdom was the gift of God,
His glory the Most High bestow'd;
And the proud monarch to rebuke,
They, They from him the glory took,
The three inexplicably One
Concurr'd to cast him from his throne.
Our God, whom One in Three we praise,
Can still the arrogant abase,
Can vindicate His truth denied
By all the towering sons of pride,
And bring them down with beasts to dwell,
Or level with the fiends of hell.
