Daniel 6:24 And the king commanded, and they brought those men who had accused Daniel, and cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and broke all their bones in pieces ere they came to the bottom of the den.

Daniel 6:27 He saveth and delivereth, and he worketh signs and wonders in the heavens and on the earth: who hath saved Daniel from the power of the lions.
Daniel 6:28 And this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
The verse centers on "make", "decree", "dominion", "kingdom", "tremble", "fear", "before", and "daniel". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "make" and "decree", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The nearby context moves from verse 25's "Then king Darius wrote unto all peoples..." into verse 27's "He saveth and delivereth and he worketh...", so "make" and "decree" belong inside that flow. In Daniel context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "make" and "decree" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
