11 The Lord took away his sins,
    and exalted his power[a] for ever;
he gave him the covenant of kings
    and a throne of glory in Israel.

12 After him rose up a wise son
    who fared amply[b] because of him;

    and God gave him rest on every side,
that he might build a house for his name
    and prepare a sanctuary to stand for ever.
