Common English Bible

¹⁰ He brought dignity to the festivals,
    and he adorned the whole cycle
    of sacred seasons,^[a]
    as they were praising God’s holy name,
        and from early morning
        the sanctuary resounded.
¹¹ The Lord took away David’s sins,
    and he exalted his power^[b] forever.
He established his kingdom by agreement;
    and a glorious throne in Israel.

¹² After David a well-instructed son arose,
    and because of David,
    he enjoyed a large kingdom.^[c]
