Context — After the Battle
8Your hand will apprehend all Your enemies; Your right hand will seize those who hate You.
9You will place them in a fiery furnace at the time of Your appearing. In His wrath the LORD will engulf them, and the fire will consume them.
10You will wipe their descendants from the earth, and their offspring from the sons of men.
11Though they intend You harm, the schemes they devise will not prevail. 12For You will put them to flight when Your bow is trained upon them.Cross References

Gill's Exposition on 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
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 21:10
Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men. Their fruit ... and their seed - "fruit" - i:e., progeny (Psalms 127:3).
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Psalms 21:10
Their fruit; either, 1. The fruit of their labours. Or rather, 2. Their seed or children, as it is explained in the next branch, oft called a man’ s fruit, as 132:11 . God will take away both root and branch, the parents and all that wicked race.
Trapp's Commentary on Psalms 21:10
Psalms 21:10 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.Ver. 10. Their fruit shalt thou destroy] i.e. Their labour, and that which comes thereof, Proverbs 21:16; Proverbs 21:31; they shall toil to no purpose; the gains shall not pay for the pains, Nulla emolumenta laborum (Juven.). And their seed] For as personal goodness is profitable to posterity; so on the contrary; as in the second commandment: they are peremptores potius quam parentes (Bern.).
Ellicott's Commentary on Psalms 21:10
(10) Their fruit.—More fully, “fruit of the womb” (Psalms 127:3; Psalms 132:11).
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Psalms 21:10
Verse 10. Their fruit shalt thou destroy] Even their posterity shall be cut off, and thus their memorial shall perish.
Cambridge Bible on Psalms 21:10
10. Even their posterity shall be utterly destroyed. Cp. Psalms 9:5; Psalms 37:28. Fruit = children, ‘the fruit of the womb’ (Lamentations 2:20).
Barnes' Notes on Psalms 21:10
Their fruit - Their offspring; their children; their posterity, for so the parallelism demands. The “fruit” is that which the tree produces; and hence, the word comes to be applied to children as the production of the parent.
Whedon's Commentary on Psalms 21:10
10. Fruit… seed—The words may be taken as synonymous for posterity; or, the first for the products of the earth, and the second for children. The idea is that of utter desolation.
