1Then Azarias stood up, and prayed on this manner; and opening his mouth in the midst of the fire said,

2Blessed are you, O Lord God of our fathers: your name is worthy to be praised and glorified for evermore:

3For you are righteous in all the things that you have done to us: yes, true are all your works, your ways are right, and all your judgments truth.

4In all the things that you have brought upon us, and upon the holy city of our fathers, even Jerusalem, you have executed true judgment: for according to truth and judgment did you bring all these things upon us because of our sins.

5For we have sinned and committed iniquity, departing from you.

6In all things have we trespassed, and not obeyed your commandments, nor kept them, neither done as you have commanded us, that it might go well with us.

7Therefore all that you have brought upon us, and every thing that you have done to us, you have done in true judgment.

8And you did deliver us into the hands of lawless enemies, most hateful forsakers of God, and to an unjust king, and the most wicked in all the world.

9And now we can’t open our mouths, we are become a shame and reproach to your servants; and to them that worship you.

10Yet deliver us not up wholly, for your name's sake, neither disannul you your covenant:

11And cause not your mercy to depart from us, for your beloved Abraham's sake, for your servant Isaac's sake, and for your holy Israel's sake;

12To whom you have spoken and promised, that you would multiply their seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand that lies upon the seashore.

13For we, O Lord, are become less than any nation, and be kept under this day in all the world because of our sins.

14Neither is there at this time prince, or prophet, or leader, or burnt offering, or sacrifice, or oblation, or incense, or place to sacrifice before you, and to find mercy.

15Nevertheless in a contrite heart and an humble spirit let us be accepted.

16Like as in the burnt offerings of rams and bullocks, and like as in ten thousands of fat lambs: so let our sacrifice be in your sight this day, and grant that we may wholly go after you: for they shall not be confounded that put their trust in you.

17And now we follow you with all our heart, we fear you, and seek your face.

18Put us not to shame: but deal with us after your lovingkindness, and according to the multitude of your mercies.

19Deliver us also according to your marvelous works, and give glory to your name, O Lord: and let all them that do your servants hurt be ashamed;

20And let them be confounded in all their power and might, and let their strength be broken;

21And let them know that you are God, the only God, and glorious over the whole world.

22And the king's servants, that put them in, ceased not to make the oven hot with rosin, pitch, tow, and small wood;

23So that the flame streamed forth above the furnace forty and nine cubits.

24And it passed through, and burned those Chaldeans it found about the furnace.

25But the angel of the Lord came down into the oven together with Azarias and his fellows, and struck the flame of the fire out of the oven;

26And made the midst of the furnace as it had been a moist whistling wind, so that the fire touched them not at all, neither hurt nor troubled them.

27Then the three, as out of one mouth, praised, glorified, and blessed, God in the furnace, saying,

28Blessed are you, O Lord God of our fathers: and to be praised and exalted above all for ever.

29And blessed is your glorious and holy name: and to be praised and exalted above all for ever.

30Blessed are you in the temple of your holy glory: and to be praised and glorified above all for ever.

31Blessed are you that behold the depths, and sit upon the cherubims: and to be praised and exalted above all for ever.
