Context of Psalms 59:13

11Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield. 12For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak. Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah. 14And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city. 15Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be 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.
