10 Remember your servant, King David.
    Do not turn away from your chosen king.[a]
11 The Lord made a strong promise to David.
    He will not change what he has promised to do.
The Lord said,
    ‘I will put one of your sons on your throne to rule as king.
12 If your sons obey my covenant and my rules,
    their descendants will rule for ever.’

  1. 132:10 The word for ‘chosen king’ is ‘Messiah’ in the Hebrew language. Jesus was King David's great descendant who became king for ever.

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

11 The Lord swore an oath to David,(A)
    a sure oath he will not revoke:
“One of your own descendants(B)
    I will place on your throne.
12 If your sons keep my covenant(C)
    and the statutes I teach them,
then their sons will sit
    on your throne(D) for ever and ever.”
