Psalm 131:9-18 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

9. Let your priests be clothed with justice, and let your saints exult.

10. For the sake of your servant David, do not turn away the face of your Christ.

11. The Lord has sworn the truth to David, and he will not disappoint: I will set upon your throne from the fruit of your lineage.

12. If your sons will keep my covenant and these, my testimonies, which I will teach to them, then their sons will sit upon your throne even forever.

13. For the Lord has chosen Zion. He has chosen it as his dwelling place.

14. This is my resting place, forever and ever. Here I will dwell, for I have chosen it.

15. When blessing, I will bless her widow. I will satisfy her poor with bread.

16. I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints will rejoice with great joy.

17. There, I will produce a horn to David. There, I have prepared a lamp for my Christ.

18. I will clothe his enemies with confusion. But my sanctification will flourish over him.
