The LORD swore an oath to David, a sure oath he will not revoke: “One of your own descendants I will place on your throne. If your sons keep my covenant and the statutes I teach them, then their sons will sit on your throne for ever and ever.” For the LORD has chosen Zion, he has desired it for his dwelling, saying, “This is my resting place for ever and ever; here I will sit enthroned, for I have desired it. I will bless her with abundant provisions; her poor I will satisfy with food. I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her faithful people will ever sing for joy. “Here I will make a horn grow for David and set up a lamp for my anointed one.

There I will make a horn to sprout for David; I have prepared a lamp for my anointed.

I will bless this city and make it prosperous; I will satisfy its poor with food. I will clothe its priests with godliness; its faithful servants will sing for joy.

The LORD swore an oath to David, a promise he will not abandon: “I will set one of your offspring  on your throne.  If your sons keep my covenant and my decrees that I will teach them, their sons will also sit on your throne forever.”  For the LORD has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his home:  “This is my resting place forever; I will make my home here because I have desired it.  I will abundantly bless its food; I will satisfy its needy with bread.  I will clothe its priests with salvation, and its faithful people will shout for joy.  There I will make a horn grow for David;  I have prepared a lamp  for my anointed one.

The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David; He will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body Will I set upon thy throne. If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, Their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore. For the LORD hath chosen Zion; He hath desired it for his habitation. This is my rest for ever: Here will I dwell; for I have desired it. I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread. I will also clothe her priests with salvation: And her saints shall shout aloud for joy. There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.

GOD gave David his word, he won’t back out on this promise: “One of your sons I will set on your throne; If your sons stay true to my Covenant and learn to live the way I teach them, Their sons will continue the line— always a son to sit on your throne. Yes—I, GOD, chose Zion, the place I wanted for my shrine; This will always be my home; this is what I want, and I’m here for good. I’ll shower blessings on the pilgrims who come here, and give supper to those who arrive hungry; I’ll dress my priests in salvation clothes; the holy people will sing their hearts out! Oh, I’ll make the place radiant for David! I’ll fill it with light for my anointed! I’ll dress his enemies in dirty rags, but I’ll make his crown sparkle with splendor.”

The LORD has sworn to David A truth from which He will not turn back: “I will set upon your throne one from the fruit of your body. “If your sons will keep My covenant And My testimony which I will teach them, Their sons also will sit upon your throne forever.” ¶For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it as His dwelling place. “This is My resting place forever; Here I will dwell, for I have desired it. “I will abundantly bless her food; I will satisfy her needy with bread. “I will also clothe her priests with salvation, And her godly ones will sing aloud for joy. “I will make the horn of David spring forth there; I have prepared a lamp for My anointed.

The LORD swore to David A truth from which He will not turn back: “One of your descendants I will set upon your throne. [Ps 89:3, 4; Luke 1:69; Acts 2:30, 31] “If your children will keep My covenant And My testimony which I will teach them, Their children also shall sit upon your throne forever.” ¶For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His dwelling place: “This is My resting place forever” [says the LORD]; “Here will I dwell, for I have desired it. “I will abundantly bless her provisions; I will satisfy her poor with bread. “Her priests also I will clothe with salvation, And her godly ones will shout aloud for joy. “There I will make the horn (strength) of David grow; I have prepared a lamp for My anointed [fulfilling the promises]. [1 Kin 11:36; 15:4; 2 Chr 21:7; Luke 1:69]

The LORD made a reliable promise to David; he will not go back on his word. He said, “I will place one of your descendants on your throne. If your sons keep my covenant and the rules I teach them, their sons will also sit on your throne forever.” Certainly the LORD has chosen Zion; he decided to make it his home. He said, “This will be my resting place forever; I will live here, for I have chosen it. I will abundantly supply what she needs; I will give her poor all the food they need. I will protect her priests, and her godly people will shout exuberantly. There I will make David strong; I have determined that my chosen king’s dynasty will continue.
