Psalms 132:11-18

¹¹The Lord made a solemn promise to David, one he will never cancel—“I will put one of your descendants on your throne.

¹²If your sons keep to my agreement and my laws that I will teach them, then their sons will always occupy your throne.”

¹³For the Lord has chosen Zion, wanting to make his home there, saying:

¹⁴“This will always be my home; this is where I want to live.

¹⁵I will provide the people of the city with all they need; I will feed the poor.

¹⁶I will clothe its priests with salvation; and its faithful people will shout for joy.

¹⁷I will make the line of David even more powerful. I have prepared a lamp for my chosen king.

¹⁸I will humiliate his enemies, but the crown he wears will shine brightly.”
