11. The Lord swore to Davida true promise that God won’t take back:"I will put one of your own children on your throne.
12. And if your children keep my covenantand the laws that I will teach them,then their children too will rule on your throne forever."
13. Because the Lord chose Zion;he wanted it for his home.
14. "This is my residence forever.I will live here because I wanted it for myself.
15. I will most certainly bless its food supply;I will fill its needy full of food!
16. I will dress its priests in salvation,and its faithful will shout out loud with joy!
17. It is there that I will make David’s strength thrive.I will prepare a lamp for my anointed one there.
18. I will dress his enemies in shame,but the crown he wears will shine."
