Texts -- Psalms 21:6-13 (NET)

Context
21:6 For you grant him lasting blessings ; you give him great joy by allowing him into your presence . 21:7 For the king trusts in the Lord , and because of the sovereign Lord’s faithfulness he is not upended . 21:8 You prevail over all your enemies ; your power is too great for those who hate you. 21:9 You burn them up like a fiery furnace when you appear ; the Lord angrily devours them; the fire consumes them. 21:10 You destroy their offspring from the earth , their descendants from among the human race. 21:11 Yes , they intend to do you harm ; they dream up a scheme , but they do not succeed . 21:12 For you make them retreat when you shoot your arrows at them. 21:13 Rise up , O Lord , in strength ! We will sing and praise your power !
