11  The Lord ^eswore to David a sure oath

from which he will not turn back:

“One of the sons of your body¹

I will set on your ^fthrone.

12  If your sons keep my covenant

and my testimonies that I shall teach them,

their sons also forever

shall sit on your throne.”

13  For ^gthe Lord has ^hchosen Zion;

he has desired it for his dwelling place:

14  “This is my resting place forever;

here I will dwell, for I have desired it.

15  I will abundantly bless her provisions;

I will ⁱsatisfy her poor with bread.

16  ^jHer priests I will ^kclothe with salvation,

and her saints will shout for joy.

17  There ^lI will make a horn to sprout for David;

I have prepared a ^mlamp for my anointed.

18  His enemies I will ⁿclothe with shame,

but on him his crown will shine.”
