If integrated into the book of Daniel: 3.86

Spirits and souls of the righteous: There is no hint in the context that this phrase refers to anything other than living people. Compare Psa 103.1-2. “All faithful people” in Good News Translation may be less forceful, but it avoids the idea that departed souls are in view here.
