Psalms 21:6

Joy

4 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.

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.

8 Your hand will apprehend all Your enemies; Your right hand will seize those who hate You.

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.
