Psalm 132:10-18

The Lord Has Chosen Zion

10 For the sake of your servant David,
n do not turn away the face of o your anointed one.

11 p The Lord swore to David a sure oath
q from which he will not turn back:
r "One of the sons of your body 1
I will set on your throne.
 12 If your sons keep my covenant
and my testimonies that I shall teach them,
their sons also forever
shall s sit on your throne."

13 For the Lord has t chosen Zion;
he has u desired it for his dwelling place:
 14 "This is my v resting place forever;
here I will w dwell, for I have desired it.
 15 I will abundantly x bless her provisions;
I will y satisfy her poor with bread.
 16 Her z priests I will clothe with salvation,
and her z saints will shout for joy.
 17 There I will make a a horn to sprout for David;
I have prepared b a lamp for c my anointed.
 18 His enemies I will d clothe with shame,
but on him his crown will shine."
