Psalms 21:5
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.
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.
7 For the king trusts in the LORD; through the loving devotion of the Most High, he will not be shaken.
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.
