11 (A)The Lord swore to David a sure oath
    (B)from which he will not turn back:
(C)“One of the sons of your body[a]
    I will set on your throne.
12 If your sons keep my covenant
    and my testimonies that I shall teach them,
their sons also forever
    shall (D)sit on your throne.”

13 For the Lord has (E)chosen Zion;
    he has (F)desired it for his dwelling place:
14 “This is my (G)resting place forever;
    here I will (H)dwell, for I have desired it.
15 I will abundantly (I)bless her provisions;

16 Her (K)priests I will clothe with salvation,
    and her (L)saints will shout for joy.
17 There I will make (M)a horn to sprout for David;
    I have prepared (N)a lamp for (O)my anointed.
18 His enemies I will (P)clothe with shame,
