Quotation marks in a block quote that consists entirely of quoted speech

I know that you wouldn't normally enclose a block quote with quotation marks; but what I can't seem to find out is what to do if the quoted material consists entirely of quoted speech.

For example, this is the original quote (from the Bible):

Then Daniel praised the God of heaven and said:
"Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever;
wisdom and power are his."

Which of the following is correct?

In Daniel 2:20, Daniel sings a song of praise to God:

Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever;
wisdom and power are his.

or:

In Daniel 2:20, Daniel sings a song of praise to God:

"Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever;

wisdom and power are his."

Many thanks, and apologies if this has been asked before; I did search, but couldn't find anything!
