10. You made a promise to your servant David;do not reject your chosen king, Lord.
11. You made a solemn promise to David —a promise you will not take back:“I will make one of your sons king,and he will rule after you.
12. If your sons are true to my covenantand to the commands I give them,their sons, also, will succeed you for all time as kings.”
13. The Lord has chosen Zion;he wants to make it his home:
14. “This is where I will live for ever;this is where I want to rule.
15. I will richly provide Zion with all she needs;I will satisfy her poor with food.
16. I will bless her priests in all they do,and her people will sing and shout for joy.
17. Here I will make one of David's descendants a great king;here I will preserve the rule of my chosen king.
18. I will cover his enemies with shame,but his kingdom will prosper and flourish.”
