Psalms 21:9 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

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.

A fiery oven - burning with the heat of thy wrath at the day of the Lord, which "shall burn as an oven" (Malachi 4:1).

In the time of thine anger - literally, 'in the time of thy countenance' (cf. Lamentations 4:16, margin); the time of the Lord's personal manifestation or presence at His second coming х parousia (G3952)]. That same "countenance" wherewith the king and his people are "made exceeding glad," consumes like fire his and their enemies (2 Thessalonians 1:7-10).
