10 David is your chosen one,
    so don't reject him.
11 (A) You made a solemn promise
    to David, when you said,
“I, the Lord, promise
that someone in your family
    will always be king.
12 If they keep our agreement
    and follow my teachings,
then someone in your family
    will rule forever.”

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.”
