Salmene 21,4

Eternal life

2 Du har gitt ham hans hjertes ønske,
Og Du har ikke nektet hans leppers bønn.
Sela

3 For Du møter ham med velsignelser av gode ting;
Du setter en krone av rent gull på hans hode.

Han ba Deg om liv, og Du ga ham det,
Lengde av dager for all tid.

5 Hans herlighet er stor gjennom Din frelse,
Prakt og majestet gir Du ham.

6 For Du gjør ham overmåte velsignet for alltid;
Du fyller ham med glede i Din nærhet.

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.
