Psalm 132:11-18
Good News Translation

11 (A)You made a solemn promise to David—
    a promise you will not take back:
“I will make one of your sons king,
    and he will rule after you.
12 If your sons are true to my covenant
    and to the commands I give them,
    their sons, also, will succeed you for all time as kings.”

13 The Lord has chosen Zion;
    he wants to make it his home:
14 “This is where I will live forever;
    this is where I want to rule.
15 I will richly provide Zion with all she needs;
    I will satisfy her poor with food.
16 I will bless her priests in all they do,
    and her people will sing and shout for joy.
17 (B)Here I will make one of David's descendants a great king;
    here I will preserve the rule of my chosen king.
18 I will cover his enemies with shame,
    but his kingdom will prosper and flourish.”

Psalm 132:11-18
New International Version

11 The Lord swore an oath to David,(A)
    a sure oath he will not revoke:
“One of your own descendants(B)
    I will place on your throne.
12 If your sons keep my covenant(C)
    and the statutes I teach them,
then their sons will sit
    on your throne(D) for ever and ever.”

13 For the Lord has chosen Zion,(E)
    he has desired it for his dwelling,(F) saying,
14 “This is my resting place for ever and ever;(G)
    here I will sit enthroned,(H) for I have desired it.
15 I will bless her with abundant provisions;
    her poor I will satisfy with food.(I)
16 I will clothe her priests(J) with salvation,
    and her faithful people will ever sing for joy.(K)

17 “Here I will make a horn[a] grow(L) for David
    and set up a lamp(M) for my anointed one.(N)
18 I will clothe his enemies with shame,(O)
    but his head will be adorned with a radiant crown.”(P)
