11. The Lord swore an oath to David,a sure oath he will not revoke:‘One of your own descendantsI will place on your throne.
12. If your sons keep my covenantand the statutes I teach them,then their sons shall siton your throne for ever and ever.’
13. For the Lord has chosen Zion,he has desired it for his dwelling, saying,
14. ‘This is my resting place for ever and ever;here I will sit enthroned, for I have desired it.
15. I will bless her with abundant provisions;her poor I will satisfy with food.
16. I will clothe her priests with salvation,and her faithful people shall ever sing for joy.
17. ‘Here I will make a horn grow for Davidand set up a lamp for my anointed one.
18. I will clothe his enemies with shame,but his head shall be adorned with a radiant crown.’
