¹Nebuchadnezzar the king, unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you.
² I thought it good to shew the signs and wonders that the high God hath wrought toward me.
³ How great are his signs! and how mighty are his wonders! his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from generation to generation.

³⁴ And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation:

³⁵ And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?

³⁶ At the same time my reason returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, mine honour and brightness returned unto me; and my counsellors and my lords sought unto me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added unto me.

³⁷ Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.

Daniel 4:1-3 & 4:34-37

I have bolded and highlighted a portion of the passage above.

The great king Nebuchadnezzar praised God by speaking of His mighty signs and wonders and extolling his everlasting kingdom and dominion.

He blessed the Most High.

He came to understand that he was nothing more than a lesser King ruling by divine providence over a lesser kingdom. He praised and extolled and honored the One he called "The King of Heaven", citing God as the author of truth and justice and testifying that the great King of Heaven was able to abase all those who walk in pride.
