Context of Psalms 59:13

11Slay them not, lest my people forget; by thy power make them wander, and bring them down, O Lord, our shield. 12[Because of] the sin of their mouth, the word of their lips, let them even be taken in their pride; and because of cursing and lying which they speak. Make an end in wrath, make an end, that they may be no more; that they may know that God ruleth in Jacob, unto the ends of the earth. Selah. 14And in the evening they shall return, they shall howl like a dog, and go round about the city. 15They shall wander about for meat, and stay all night if they be not satisfied.

Commentaries on Psalms 59:13

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 13Consume them in wrath - Or, in thy justice. The idea in the word “consume” here is to finish; to complete; to bring to an end. It does not mean to “burn” them as our word might seem to imply, nor is there any reference to the “mode” or “manner” in which their power was to be brought to an end.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 8-17Verses 8-17 It is our wisdom and duty, in times of danger and difficulty, to wait upon God; for he is our defence, in whom we shall be safe.
