God gave David his word,he won’t back out on this promise:“One of your sonsI will set on your throne;If your sons stay true to my Covenantand learn to live the way I teach them,Their sons will continue the line—always a son to sit on your throne.Yes—I, God, chose Zion,the place I wanted for my shrine;This will always be my home;this is what I want, and I’m here for good.I’ll shower blessings on the pilgrims who come here,and give supper to those who arrive hungry;I’ll dress my priests in salvation clothes;the holy people will sing their hearts out!Oh, I’ll make the place radiant for David!I’ll fill it with light for my anointed!I’ll dress his enemies in dirty rags,but I’ll make his crown sparkle with splendor.”
