Context of Psalms 132:10

8Arise, O Lord, and enter your resting place, along with the Ark, the symbol of your power. 9May your priests be clothed in godliness; may your loyal servants sing for joy. For the sake of your servant David, do not reject the king you have anointed. 11The Lord swore an oath to David with a promise he will never take back: “I will place one of your descendants on your throne. 12If your descendants obey the terms of my covenant and the laws that I teach them, then your royal line will continue forever and ever.”
