Context of Psalms 59:13

11Do not kill them, or my people will forget; Scatter them by Your power and bring them down, Lord, our shield. 12On account of the sin of their mouths and the words of their lips, May they even be caught in their pride, And on account of curses and lies which they tell. Destroy them in wrath, destroy them so that they will no longer exist; So that people may know that God rules in Jacob, To the ends of the earth. Selah 14They return at evening, they howl like a dog, And prowl around the city. 15They wander about for food And murmur if they are not satisfied.

• 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 is very comfortable to us, in prayer, to look to God as the God of our mercy, the Author of all good in us, and the Giver of all good to us.
