Psalm 21:8-10
New Catholic Bible
8 For the king places his trust in the Lord;
through the kindness[a] of the Most High he will not fall.
9 [b]Your hand will lay hold of all your enemies;
your right hand will overcome all your foes.
10 On the day when you appear,[c]
you will cast them into a fiery furnace.
The Lord’s anger will engulf them,
and fire will consume them.
