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.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
