Psalm 21:1-3

The king rejoices in your strength, LORD. How great is his joy in the victories you give! You have granted him his heart's desire and have not withheld the request of his lips. You came to greet him with rich blessings and placed a crown of pure gold on his head. 

The king rejoices in your strength, LORD 
1 Samuel 2:10  "... those who oppose the LORD will be broken. The Most High will thunder from heaven; the LORD will judge the ends of the earth. He will give strength to his king and exalt the horn of his anointed."

How great is his joy in the victories you give! 
2 Samuel 22:51  "He gives his king great victories; he shows unfailing kindness to his anointed, to David and his descendants forever."

You have granted him his heart's desire 
Psalm 20:4  May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed.

and placed a crown of pure gold 
2 Samuel 12:30  David took the crown from their (the Ammonites) king's head, and it was placed on his own head. It weighed a talent (about 75 lbs or 34 kg) of gold, and was set with precious stones.
Revelation 14:14  I looked, and there before me was a white cloud, and seated on the cloud was one like a son of man with a crown of gold on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand.

on his head 
Zechariah 6:11  "Take silver and gold and make a crown, and set it on the head of the high priest, Joshua son of Jozadak."
