Daniel sees and talks to God. The others that were with him at the time could see not see God but had a terrifying vision that made them run away. I would imagine because God's words only for Daniel. He praises Daniel for the faith he has shown and proceeds to tell him about the kings that would be coming up and what would happen with them. He also tells him that the time will come where there will be times of trouble and the angel Michael will be sent. There will be a book that will have the names of everyone that will be saved during this time and Daniel is to seal that book until the time of the end. I wonder if this is the a prophecy for the end times as spoken in Revelation.
They are asking God to restore their salvation and save them. They mention that God had forgiven their people before and they are asking for that again. They praise him for his steadfast love and faithfulness.

It very well could be a vision of Revelations. It's hard to determine what end they are speaking of. There is so much in this vision and conversation with God. And what is the purpose for God to share this with Daniel? Is he supposed to be doing something with the information, or is it just so that someone knows or that Daniel is loved by God and found to be righteous so God confides in him what is to come.
The psalm does sound like they are asking God to restore them to his good graces.
