Psalms 21:11 Context
9Thou shalt make them as a fiery ouen in the time of thine anger: the Lord shall swallow them vp in his wrath, and the fire shall deuoure them. 10Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men. 11For they intended euill against thee: they imagined a mischieuous deuice, which they are not able to performe. 12Therefore shalt thou make them turne their back, when thou shalt make ready thine arrowes vpon thy strings, against the face of them. 13Be thou exalted, Lord, in thine owne strength: so will wee sing, aud praise thy power.
