Psalm 69:36

The children also of his servants shall inherit it. Those who love his name shall dwell therein.

34Let heaven and earth praise him; the seas, and everything that moves therein!
35For God will save Zion, and build the cities of Judah. They shall settle there, and own it.
36The children also of his servants shall inherit it. Those who love his name shall dwell therein.
