Psa 21:10Their fruit from earth Thou destroyest, And their seed from the sons of men.
Psa 21:11For they stretched out against Thee evil, They devised a wicked device, they prevail not,
Psa 21:12For Thou makest them a butt, When Thy strings Thou preparest against their faces.
Psa 21:13Be Thou exalted, O Jehovah in, Thy strength, We sing and we praise Thy might!
