Psalms 21:10 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 21:10

Their fruit shall thou destroy from the earth
Meaning the offspring of wicked men; the fruit of the womb, ( Psalms 127:3 ) ; the same with their seed in the next clause:

and their seed from among the children of men;
see ( Psalms 37:28 ) ; which must be understood of such of their seed, and offspring as are as they were when born; are never renewed and sanctified, but are like their parents; as the Jews were, their parents were vipers, and they were serpents, the generation of them; and were the children of the devil, and did his works: now these passages had their accomplishment in the Jews, when the day of God's wrath burnt them up, and left them neither root nor branch, ( Malachi 4:1 ) ; and in the Pagan empire, when every mountain and island were moved out of their places, and the Heathen perished out of the land, ( Revelation 6:14 ) ( Psalms 10:16 ) ; and will be further accomplished when the Lord shall punish the wicked woman Jezebel, the antichristian harlot, and kill her children with death, ( Revelation 2:23 ) ; see ( Psalms 104:35 ) .

Psalms 21:10 In-Context

8 Your hand will make a search for all your haters; your right hand will be hard on all those who are against you.

9 You will make them like a flaming oven before you; the Lord in his wrath will put an end to them, and they will be burned up in the fire.

10 Their fruit will be cut off from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.

11 For their thoughts were bitter against you: they had an evil design in their minds, which they were not able to put into effect.

12 Their backs will be turned when you make ready the cords of your bow against their faces.
