The proclamation of God’s righteousness is a theme Daniel stresses again and again in this prayer. He acknowledges again, that Israel as a nation has rejected the law God had set before them through the ministry of the prophets. This law was to be embraced by faith, that is, they were to believe God’s requirements and His promises and act upon them. That’s what genuine faith is. Merely giving mental or verbal assent to the truth without a corresponding lifestyle of obedience is simply an empty profession!
