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 ) .
