King David starts off Psalms 21 with praise and blessings to God for his salvation and for God blessing him with all the desires of his heart. 

The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice! Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah. Psalms 21:1-2


Then, further in the chapter, he describes the fate of his enemies; those who are against him and ultimately against God Himself. This psalm gives us a glimpse into the torment God’s enemies will face in the future; they may be living it up right now, but their future is nothing but heat and fire. Not only will they face the fiery pit of hell, but they will burn from their own heat because their consciences will create hell and torment them when they reflect on their own actions. David held nothing back in the song. He expressed his thanksgiving and rebuked his enemies by giving them a glimpse into their future.  


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. Psalms 21:9


If you are wondering when we will finally see the recompense of the wicked, wait for it, for it will surely come, and they will be forever regretful.
