11. The Lord swore an oath to David in truth,he will never turn back from it:“Your own offspring I will set upon your throne.
12. If your sons observe my covenant,and my decrees I shall teach them,Their sons, in turn,shall sit forever on your throne.”
13. Yes, the Lord has chosen Zion,desired it for a dwelling:
14. “This is my resting place forever;here I will dwell, for I desire it.
15. I will bless Zion with provisions;its poor I will fill with bread.
16. I will clothe its priests with salvation;its devout shall shout for joy.
17. There I will make a horn sprout for David;I will set a lamp for my anointed.
18. His foes I will clothe with shame,but on him his crown shall shine.”
