I will make a name for you like that of the greatest in the land.I will establish a place for My people Israel and plant them, so that they may live there and not be disturbed again. Evildoers will not afflict them as they have doneever since the day I ordered judges to be over My people Israel. I will give you rest from all your enemies.“‘ The Lord declares to you: The Lord Himself will make a house for you.When your time comes and you rest with your fathers, I will raise up after you your descendant, who will come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom.He will build a house for My name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.I will be a father to him, and he will be a son to Me.

You once spoke in a vision to Your loyal ones and said:“ I have granted help to a warrior; I have exalted one chosen from the people.I have found David My servant; I have anointed him with My sacred oil.My hand will always be with him, and My arm will strengthen him.The enemy will not afflict him; no wicked man will oppress him.I will crush his foes before him and strike those who hate him.My faithfulness and love will be with him, and through My name his horn will be exalted.I will extend his power to the sea and his right hand to the rivers.He will call to Me,‘ You are my Father, my God, the rock of my salvation.’I will also make him My firstborn, greatest of the kings of the earth.I will always preserve My faithful love for him, and My covenant with him will endure.I will establish his line forever, his throne as long as heaven lasts.If his sons forsake My instruction and do not live by My ordinances,if they dishonor My statutes and do not keep My commands,then I will call their rebellion to account with the rod, their sin with blows.But I will not withdraw My faithful love from him or betray My faithfulness.I will not violate My covenant or change what My lips have said.Once and for all I have sworn an oath by My holiness; I will not lie to David.His offspring will continue forever, his throne like the sun before Me,like the moon, established forever, a faithful witness in the sky.” Selah
