Psalms 21:4

Eternal life

2 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.

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

5 Great is his glory in Your salvation; You bestow on him splendor and majesty.

6 For You grant him blessings forever; You cheer him with joy in Your presence.

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.
