Context of Psalms 21:10
8Your hand will find all Your enemies; Your right hand will find those who hate You. 9You shall make them as a fiery oven in the time of Your anger; The Lord shall swallow them up in His wrath, And the fire shall devour them. Their offspring You shall destroy from the earth, And their descendants from among the sons of men. 11For they intended evil against You; They devised a plot which they are not able to perform. 12Therefore You will make them turn their back; You will make ready Your arrows on Your string toward their faces.
