R (13) The Lord has chosen Zion for his dwelling.
The Lord swore to David
a firm promise from which he will not withdraw:
“Your own offspring
I will set upon your throne.” R
“If your sons keep my covenant
and the decrees which I shall teach them,
Their sons, too, forever
shall sit upon your throne.” R
For the Lord has chosen Zion;
he prefers her for his dwelling.
“Zion is my resting place forever;
in her will I dwell, for I prefer her.” R
“In her will I make a horn to sprout forth for David;
I will place a lamp for my anointed.
His enemies I will clothe with shame,
but upon him my crown shall shine.” R
Alleluia, alleluia. Blessed are the poor in spirit;/ for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven. Alleluia, alleluia.
- For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be. l
