God's Eternal Oath to David and Zion

Psalms 132:11-18

ADONAI swore an oath to David, an oath he will not break: "One of the sons from your own body I will set on your throne.

If your sons keep my covenant and my instruction, which I will teach them, then their descendants too, forever, will sit on your throne."

For ADONAI has chosen Tziyon, he has wanted it as his home.

"This is my resting-place forever, I will live here because I so much want to.

I will bless it with plenty of meat, I will give its poor their fill of food.

Its cohanim I will clothe with salvation, and its faithful will shout for joy.

I will make a king sprout there from David's line and prepare a lamp for my anointed one.

His enemies I will clothe with shame, but on him there will be a shining crown."
