11. The Lord swore an oath to David,a promise He will not abandon:“I will set one of your descendants on your throne.
12. If your sons keep My covenantand My decrees that I will teach them,their sons will also sit on your throne forever.”
13. For the Lord has chosen Zion;He has desired it for His home:
14. “This is My resting place forever;I will make My home herebecause I have desired it.
15. I will abundantly bless its food;I will satisfy its needy with bread.
16. I will clothe its priests with salvation,and its godly people will shout for joy.
17. There I will make a horn grow for David; I have prepared a lamp for My anointed one.
18. I will clothe his enemies with shame, but the crown he wears will be glorious.”
