Psalms

Psalm 21:8–11

⁸Your hand will apprehend all Your enemies;

Your right hand will seize those who hate You.

⁹You 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.

¹⁰You will wipe their descendants from the earth,

and their offspring from the sons of men.

¹¹Though they intend You harm,

the schemes they devise will not prevail.
