Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.
David could have given thanks to God in private, but he testified publicly that whatever blessings God conferred upon him redounded to the common good of all His people. Yet above all, the Holy Spirit directs our minds here to Christ, who was the end and perfection of this kingdom, teaching us we cannot be saved except under the Head God Himself appointed.

Commenting on Psalm 21:1-13
The wicked shall be their own tormentors: as they burned with anger against Christ, so shall they burn by His anger. The fire of sin followed by the fire of wrath, utter, terrible consumption. Never slight hell, or you will soon have low thoughts of sin.

Christ our King trusts in God and shall not be moved; His joy and confidence are the ground of ours. The mercy of the Most High secures His happiness and ours, and silences all our fears. He will utterly overthrow all impenitent enemies who refuse His reign.
