11 The Lord swore an oath to David,

a sure oath he will not revoke:

“One of your own descendants

I will place on your throne.

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.”

11 The Lord hath sworn in truth unto David;

He will not turn from it;

Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.

12 If thy children will keep my covenant

And my testimony that I shall teach them,

Their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.

11 The Lord swore an oath to David

with a promise he will never take back:

“I will place one of your descendants

on your throne.

12 If your descendants obey the terms of my covenant

and the laws that I teach them,

then your royal line

will continue forever and ever.”

11 The Lord has sworn in truth to David;

He will not turn from it:

“I will set upon your throne the fruit of your body.

12 If your sons will keep My covenant

And My testimony which I shall teach them,

Their sons also shall sit upon your throne forevermore.”

11 The Lord made a promise to David,

a sure promise that he will not take back.

He promised, “I will make one of your descendants

rule as king after you.

12 If your sons keep my agreement

and the rules that I teach them,

then their sons after them will rule

on your throne forever and ever.”

11 Jehovah hath sworn unto David in truth;

He will not turn from it:

Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.

12 If thy children will keep my covenant

And my testimony that I shall teach them,

Their children also shall sit upon thy throne for evermore.

11 Jehovah hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it: Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne; 12 If thy children keep my covenant, and my testimonies which I will teach them, their children also for evermore shall sit upon thy throne.

11 The Lord swore an oath to David. 

This is a truth he will not take back: 

“I will set one of your own descendants on your throne. 

12 If your sons are faithful to my promise

and my written instructions that I will teach them, 

then their descendants will also sit on your throne forever.” 

11 The Lord swore an oath to David,

a promise He will not abandon:

“I will set one of your descendants

on your throne.

12 If your sons keep My covenant

and My decrees that I will teach them,

their sons will also sit on your throne forever.”

11 The Lord swore to David a sure oath

from which he will not turn back:

“One of the sons of your body

I will set on your throne.

12 If your sons keep my covenant

and my decrees that I shall teach them,

their sons also, forevermore,

shall sit on your throne.”

11 Yahweh swore in truth to David;

he will not turn back from it.

“One from the fruit of your body

I will set on your throne.

12 If your sons will heed my covenant

and my testimonies that I will teach them,

their sons also forever

will sit on your throne.”

11 The Lord took an oath and made a promise to David.

It is a firm promise that he will never break.

He said, “After you die,

I will place one of your own sons on your throne.

12 If your sons keep my covenant

and the laws I teach them,

then their sons will sit

on your throne for ever and ever.”

11 The Lord has sworn to David

A truth from which He will not turn back:

“Of the fruit of your body I will set upon your throne.

12 “If your sons will keep My covenant

And My testimony which I will teach them,

Their sons also shall sit upon your throne forever.”
