Context — Deliver Me from My Enemies
11Do not kill them, or my people will forget. Scatter them by Your power, and bring them down, O Lord, our shield.
12By the sins of their mouths and the words of their lips, let them be trapped in their pride, in the curses and lies they utter.
13Consume them in wrath; consume them till they are no more, so it may be known to the ends of the earth that God rules over Jacob. Selah
14They return in the evening, snarling like dogs and prowling around the city. 15They scavenge for food, and growl if they are not satisfied.Cross References

Gill's Exposition on Psalms 59:13
Consume [them] in wrath, consume [them],.... The repetition of the request shows the ardour and vehemency of the mind of the petitioner, and the importunity in which he put up the petition; and
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 59:13
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. Consume them in wrath.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Psalms 59:13
Consume them by degrees, and after thou hast made them to wander about, . That they may not be, to wit, in the land of the living, any more; as this phrase is frequently understood, whereof divers instances have been given. Let them know experimentally, and to their cost, that God ruleth over and above them; that though Saul be king, yet God is his superior in power and authority, and all things among us shall be disposed, not as it pleaseth Saul, which his parasites are always suggesting to him, but as God will; and therefore I shall be preserved, and in fit time crowned, in spite of all that Saul or his forces can do against me. In Jacob; in the land and over the people of Israel, whose king and governor he is in a peculiar manner. Unto; or, and into; the contraction and being oft understood, as hath been noted before. These words may be referred, either, 1. To God’ s ruling; let them know that God ruleth, not only in Jacob, but also to the ends of the earth. Or, 2. To men’ s knowing; let them, or let men, know, even to the ends of the earth, that God ruleth in Jacob; let thy judgments be so manifest and dreadful in the destruction of thy wicked enemies, that not only Israelites, but even the remote nations of the world, may see it, and acknowledge thy power and providence in it. The ends of the earth; either of this land; or rather, of the world.
The sense is, That by those eminent and extraordinary discoveries of thy power, and wisdom, and justice it may be evident, both to them and to all that hear of it, that thou art no puny, or inferior, or topical god, like the gods of heathens, whose government is confined to a narrow compass; but the high and mighty God, and the great Ruler of the whole world.
Trapp's Commentary on Psalms 59:13
Psalms 59:13 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.Ver. 13. Consume them in wrath, &c.] But by degrees, as Psalms 59:11, slowly, but surely and severely; that they may feel themselves wasted. There may be much poison in little drops, paulatim seu gradatim et in fine penitus corruant (Kimchi). And let them know] Know to their cost; or, let men know.
Ellicott's Commentary on Psalms 59:13
(13) That they may not be.—Better, That they may be no more. These words are to be taken closely together. The signal overthrow of the poet’s foes is to be a proof to the ends of the world of the sovereign rule of the God of Jacob.
Cambridge Bible on Psalms 59:13
13. Consume them in wrath, consume them] For the emphatic repetition cp. Psalms 57:1; Psalms 57:7-8; and for the wrath of divine judgement cp. Psalms 56:7. that they may not be] Better as R.V., that they be no more. and let them know] It is best to regard the subject of the verb as indefinite, let men know; and to connect unto the ends of the earth with this clause. Let it be known throughout the length and breadth of the world. Cp. 1 Samuel 17:46 : ‘that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.’ The P.B.V. ‘that it is God that ruleth in Jacob, and unto the ends of the world,’ gives an equally good sense, but requires the insertion of the conjunction.
Barnes' Notes on Psalms 59:13
Consume them in wrath - Or, in thy justice. The idea in the word “consume” here is to finish; to complete; to bring to an end.
Whedon's Commentary on Psalms 59:13
13. Consume them… that they may not be—He speaks of them as a conspiracy, a combination of wicked men.
