¹¹ The Lord made a promise to David.
    It is a firm promise that he will never break.
He said, “After you die,
    I will place one of your own sons on your throne.
¹² If your sons keep my covenant
    and the laws I teach them,
then their sons will sit
    on your throne for ever and ever.”

¹³ The Lord has chosen Zion.
    That’s the place where he wants to live.
