Psalm 21:9-11
New Catholic Bible
9 [a]Your hand will lay hold of all your enemies;
your right hand will overcome all your foes.
10 On the day when you appear,[b]
you will cast them into a fiery furnace.
The Lord’s anger will engulf them,
and fire will consume them.
11 You will blot out their descendants from the earth
and rid the human race of their posterity.[c]
