Psalms 132:17

David

15 I will bless her with abundant provisions; I will satisfy her poor with bread.

16 I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints will sing out in joy.

There I will make a horn grow for David; I have prepared a lamp for My anointed one.

18 I will clothe his enemies with shame, but the crown upon him will gleam.”

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
