Midrash sa Daniel 6:24: Midrash Tehillim

Psalm of David: In you, Lord, I have taken refuge. As it is said in the scripture (Isaiah 50:10), "Who among you fears the Lord and obeys the word of his servant? Let the one who walks in the dark, who has no light, trust in the name of the Lord and rely on their God." When Israel enters synagogues and says before the Lord, "Redeem us," He tells them that there are righteous and God-fearing people among them. They reply that in the past, during the days of Moses, Aaron, Saul, David, and Solomon, there were righteous people, but now they have been taken away from them because of their sins. As it says in Isaiah 57:1, "The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; the devout are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil." And it says in Psalm 12:2, "Everyone lies to their neighbor; they flatter with their lips but harbor deception in their hearts." We have no one to rely on, for everything we do leads us into darkness, as it is said in Isaiah 50:10, "Whoever walks in the dark does not know where they are going." The Lord tells them to trust in His name, for He is their support. As it says in Isaiah 50:10, "Let them trust in the name of the Lord and rely on their God." And He will save anyone who trusts in His name, as He saved Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, who trusted in Him, as it says in Daniel 3:28, "Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, who has sent his angel and rescued his servants!" And Daniel trusted in Him, and He saved him from the pit, as it says in Daniel 6:24, "And the king gave the order, and they brought Daniel and threw him into the lions' den. The king said to Daniel, 'May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you!'" David said, "Since this is the confidence that anyone who trusts in You will be saved, I also trust in You."

"In You, O Lord, I have taken refuge." Isaiah said (Isaiah 50:10), "Who among you fears the Lord and obeys the voice of His servant? Who among you walks in darkness and has no light? Let him trust in the name of the Lord and rely on his God." Similarly, Nebuchadnezzar said (Daniel 3:28), "Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent his angel and delivered his servants who trusted in him." And Darius said (Daniel 6:24), "And Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no harm was found on him, because he had trusted in his God." David also said (Psalm 31:1), "In you, O Lord, do I take refuge; let me never be put to shame; in your righteousness deliver me." The people of Israel were not ashamed to express their trust in God in this world, and they said only that they trust in the world to come. Isaiah also said (Isaiah 45:17), "Israel is saved by the Lord with everlasting salvation; you shall not be put to shame or confounded to all eternity."...
