Psalms 21:12

10 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.

For You will put them to flight when Your bow is trained upon them.

13 Be exalted, O LORD, in Your strength; we will sing and praise Your power.

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.
