Psalms 21:10
8 Your hand will apprehend all Your enemies; Your right hand will seize those who hate You.
9 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.
You will wipe their descendants from the earth, and their offspring from the sons of men.
11 Though they intend You harm, the schemes they devise will not prevail.
12 For You will put them to flight when Your bow is trained upon them.
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.
