132:9 May your priests be clothed with integrity! 1
May your loyal followers shout for joy!
132:10 For the sake of David, your servant,
do not reject your chosen king! 2
132:11 The Lord made a reliable promise to David; 3
he will not go back on his word. 4
He said, 5 “I will place one of your descendants 6 on your throne.
132:12 If your sons keep my covenant
and the rules I teach them,
their sons will also sit on your throne forever.”
132:13 Certainly 7 the Lord has chosen Zion;
he decided to make it his home. 8
132:14 He said, 9 “This will be my resting place forever;
I will live here, for I have chosen it. 10
132:15 I will abundantly supply what she needs; 11
I will give her poor all the food they need. 12
132:16 I will protect her priests, 13
and her godly people will shout exuberantly. 14
132:17 There I will make David strong; 15
I have determined that my chosen king’s dynasty will continue. 16
132:18 I will humiliate his enemies, 17
and his crown will shine.
