Context of Psalms 59:13
11Do not kill them yet, or my people will soon forget. Use your power to send them away without homes. Then make them fall! You are our Lord who keeps us safe like a soldier's shield. 12They speak bad words that are evil. Let their own pride catch them in a trap, because they curse people, and they tell lies. Because you are angry with them, destroy them! Destroy them completely, so that they are no more. Then everybody will know that God rules in Israel, and he rules everywhere in the earth. Selah. 14Those bad people come back to the city every evening. They go from place to place, and they cry out like dogs. 15They go from place to place and they look for food to eat. They will not rest until they are full.
