Chapter 1 ₆₀ _{O ye children of men, bless ye the Lord: praise and exalt him above all for ever.}₆₁ _{O Israel, bless ye the Lord: praise and exalt him above all for ever.}₆₂ _{O ye priests of the Lord, bless ye the Lord: praise and exalt him above all for ever.}₆₃ _{O ye servants of the Lord, bless ye the Lord: praise and exalt him above all for ever.}₆₄ _{O ye spirits and souls of the righteous, bless ye the Lord: praise and exalt him above all for ever.}₆₅ _{O ye holy and humble men of heart, bless ye the Lord: praise and exalt him above all for ever.}₆₆ _{O Ananias, Azarias, and Misael, bless ye the Lord: praise and exalt him above all for ever: far he hath delivered us from hell, and saved us from the hand of death, and delivered us out of the midst of the furnace and burning flame: even out of the midst of the fire hath he delivered us.}₆₇ _{O give thanks unto the Lord, because he is gracious: for his mercy endureth for ever.}₆₈ _{O all ye that worship the Lord, bless the God of gods, praise him, and give him thanks: for his mercy endureth for ever.}

The Prayer of Azariah and the Song of the Three Holy Children is a lengthy passage that appears after Daniel 3:23 in Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Bibles, as well as in the ancient Greek Septuagint translation. It is listed as non-canonical in Article VI of the Thirty-Nine Articles of the Church of England. The passage is omitted from Protestant Bibles as an apocryphal addition.
The passage includes the penitential prayer of Azariah (Abednego in Babylonian; see Daniel 1:6-7) while the three youths were in the fiery furnace; a brief account of the angel who met them in the furnace; and the hymn of praise they sang when they realized they were delivered.
