Psalms 132:12

10 For the sake of Your servant David, do not reject Your anointed one.

11 The LORD swore an oath to David, a promise He will not revoke: “One of your descendants I will place on your throne.

If your sons keep My covenant and the testimony I will teach them, then their sons will also sit on your throne forever and ever.”

13 For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His home:

14 “This is My resting place forever and ever; here I will dwell, for I have desired this home.
