Your throne has been secure from ancient times; you have always been king.

But you, O Lord, reign forever; your throne endures from generation to generation.

Your house and your kingdom will stand before me permanently; your dynasty will be permanent.’”

Your throne, O God, is permanent. The scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of justice.

‘I will give you an eternal dynasty and establish your throne throughout future generations.’” (Selah)

Equity and justice are the foundation of your throne. Loyal love and faithfulness characterize your rule.

So I have decided to build a temple to honor the Lord my God, as the Lord instructed my father David, ‘Your son, whom I will put on your throne in your place, is the one who will build a temple to honor me.’
