Psalm 59
1. David prays to be delivered from his enemies
6. He complains of their cruelty
8. He trusts in god
11. He prays against them
16. He praises God














(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.

Verse 13. - Consume them in wrath, consume them; or, "make an end of them" ? "bring them to naught." That they may not be; or, "that they be no more." And let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. The frustration of their plans, and their signal punishment, will cause the God of Israel to be recognized widely as the King of the whole earth. Compare the words of David to Goliath, "I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel" (1 Samuel 17:46).
