“Bless the Lord!
Hananiah!
Azariah!
Mishael!
Sing praise to him!
Highly exalt him forever!
He has rescued us
From Hades.
He has saved us
From the power
Of death.
He has delivered us
From the midst
Of the burning fiery furnace.
From the midst
Of the fire,
He has delivered us.”
Finally, the 3 young men, using their Judean names and not their Babylonian names, Hananiah, Azariah, and Mishael, would bless, praise, and exalt the Lord. However, they had a particular reason to bless God, because he had rescued them from hell or hades. He had saved them from the power of death itself. He had delivered them and kept them safe. Right in the middle of this fiery furnace, God had saved their lives.
