Psalms 132:18
16 I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints will sing out in joy.
17 There I will make a horn grow for David; I have prepared a lamp for My anointed one.
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.
