Context of Psalms 21:9

7For the king trusts in the LORD; through the loving devotion of the Most High, he will not be shaken. 8Your hand will apprehend all Your enemies; Your right hand will seize those who hate You. You will place them in a fiery furnace at the time of Your appearing. In His wrath the LORD will engulf them, and the fire will consume them. 10You will wipe their descendants from the earth, and their offspring from the sons of men. 11Though they intend You harm, the schemes they devise will not prevail.
