10 For the sake of your servant David,do not reject the king you have anointed.
11 The lord swore an oath to Davidwith a promise he will never take back:“I will place one of your descendantson your throne.
12 If your descendants obey the terms of my covenantand the laws that I teach them,then your royal linewill continue forever and ever.”
13 For the lord has chosen Jerusalem;he has desired it for his home.
14 “This is my resting place forever,” he said.“I will live here, for this is the home I desired.
15 I will bless this city and make it prosperous;I will satisfy its poor with food.
16 I will clothe its priests with godliness;its faithful servants will sing for joy.
