Psalms 21:7
5 Great is his glory in Your salvation; You bestow on him splendor and majesty.
6 For You grant him blessings forever; You cheer him with joy in Your presence.
For the king trusts in the LORD; through the loving devotion of the Most High, he will not be shaken.
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.
