Context of Psalms 21:11
9You will make them as a fiery oven in the time of your anger; The Lord will swallow them up in His wrath, And fire will devour them. 10Their offspring You will destroy from the earth, And their descendants from among the sons of men. Though they intended evil against You And devised a plot, They will not succeed. 12For You will make them turn their back; You will aim with Your bowstrings at their faces. 13Be exalted, O Lord, in Your strength; We will sing and praise Your power.

The success with which God blessed David, was a type of the total overthrow of all Christ's enemies.
