2 How he made an oath to the Lord, and gave his word to the great God of Jacob, saying,

3 “I will not enter my house or go to my bed,

3 Truly, I will not come into my house, or go to my bed,

4 I will allow no sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids,

4 I will not give sleep to my eyes, or rest to my eyeballs,

5 till I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

5 Till I have got a place for the Lord, a resting-place for the great God of Jacob.

11 The Lord gave a true oath to David, which he will not take back, saying, I will give your kingdom to the fruit of your body.

12 If your sons keep my covenant and the statutes I teach them, then their sons will sit on your throne for ever and ever.”

12 If your children keep my word, and the teachings which I will give them, their children will be rulers of your kingdom for ever.

17 There I will make the horn of David fertile: I have made ready a light for my king.

18 His haters will be clothed with shame; but I will make his crown shining.
