Salmene 132,18

16 Jeg vil også kle hennes prester med frelse,
og hennes trofaste skal synge med glede.

17 Jeg vil la Davids horn blomstre der;
jeg har forberedt et lys for min salvede.

Jeg vil dekke hans fiender med skam,
men på ham skal hans krone skinne.»

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.
