The second part.

 [verse 11]  The Lord to David swore in truth,
and will not shrink from it,
Saying, The fruit of thy body
upon thy seat shall sit.
 [verse 12]  And if thy sons my covenant keep,
that I shall learn each one:
Then shall their sons for ever sit
upon thy princely throne.
 [verse 13]  The Lord himself hath chose Sion,
and loves therein to dwell,
 [verse 14]  Saying, This is my resting-place,
I love and like it well.
 [verse 15]  And I will bless with great increase
her victuals every where:
And I will satisfie with bread
the needy that be there.

 [verse 16]  Yea, I will deck and clothe her priests
with my salvation:
And all her saints shall sing for joy
of my protection.
 [verse 17]  There will I surely make the horn
of David for to bud:
For there I have ordain'd for mine
a lantern bright and good.

 [verse 18]  As for his enemies I will clothe
with shame for evermore:
But I will cause his crown to shine
more fresh then heretofore.
