Psalms 21:2

Prayer

1 O LORD, the king rejoices in Your strength. How greatly he exults in Your salvation!

You have granted his heart’s desire and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah

3 For You welcomed him with rich blessings; You placed on his head a crown of pure gold.

4 He asked You for life, and You granted it— length of days, forever and ever.

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.
