Summary: God made a lasting promise to David. He chose Zion as his dwelling and will raise a ruler from David’s line. His enemies will fall, but his chosen one will be honored.
R. God will give him the throne of David, his father.
The LORD swore to David
a firm promise from which he will not withdraw:
“Your own offspring
I will set upon your throne.”
R. God will give him the throne of David, his father.
For the LORD has chosen Zion;
he prefers her for his dwelling.
“Zion is my resting place forever;
in her will I dwell, for I prefer her.”
R. God will give him the throne of David, his father.
“In her will I make a horn to sprout forth for David;
I will place a lamp for my anointed.
His enemies I will clothe with shame,
but upon him my crown shall shine.”
R. God will give him the throne of David, his father.
