Psalms 132:17-18

There In Jerusalem, the seat of the kingdom, and the only place of my presence and worship in the world; will I make the horn of David to bud His power and glory to flourish and increase, and to descend to his posterity. I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed A successor or succession to continue in his family, as this phrase is expounded 1 Kings 11:36; 1 Kings 15:4; where see the notes; and particularly one eminent and glorious light, namely, the Messiah, who shall descend from him, and revive, and greatly enlarge his kingdom.

His enemies That have formed designs against him; will I clothe with shame When they shall see all their designs baffled, and their vain hopes disappointed; but upon himself Upon him and his posterity, shall his crown flourish That is, his government shall be established and enlarged, and shall be more and more to his honour. This prediction was to have its full accomplishment in Jesus Christ, whose crown of honour and power shall never fade, nor the flowers of it wither. The crowns of earthly princes continue only for a short time; but Christ's crown shall endure to all eternity, and the crowns reserved for his faithful subjects are such as fade not away.
