Salmi 59:13

13 Distruggili nel tuo furore; distruggili sì che non sieno più; E sappiano, che Iddio signoreggia in Giacobbe, Anzi fino alle estremità della terra. Sela.

Salmi 59:13 Meaning and Commentary

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 suggests that the persons designed were guilty of very great sins, deserving of the wrath of God, and which came upon them to the uttermost, ( 1 Thessalonians 2:16 ) ;

that they [may] not [be];
either any more in the land of the living; be utterly extinct, having no being in this world, ( Jeremiah 31:15 ) ; or that they might not be in the glory and grandeur, in the honour, dignity, and felicity, they once were in; which best suits the present state of the Jews; and this sense better agrees with what follows;

and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob, unto the ends of the
earth;
this is to be understood of the Messiah, who is God over all, blessed for ever, and is the ruler in Israel, King of saints; reigns over the house of Jacob, in his church, and among his people, wherever they are; even to the ends of the earth, where he has had, or will have, some that are subject to him: for his dominion will be from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth, ( Psalms 72:8 ) ; and this his government is known to men good and bad, by the judgments which he executeth; and particularly it is apparent that he is made Lord and Christ, and that he is come in his kingdom, and with power, by the vengeance taken on the Jewish nation.

Selah; on this word, (See Gill on Psalms 3:2).

Salmi 59:13 In-Context

11 Non ucciderli già; che talora il mio popolo non lo dimentichi; Falli, per la tua potenza, andar vagando; ed abbattili, O Signore, scudo nostro;

12 Per lo peccato della lor bocca, per le parole delle lor labbra; E sieno colti per l’orgoglio loro, E perciocchè tengono ragionamenti di esecrazioni e di menzogne.

13 Distruggili nel tuo furore; distruggili sì che non sieno più; E sappiano, che Iddio signoreggia in Giacobbe, Anzi fino alle estremità della terra. Sela.

14 Vadano pure, e vengano la sera; romoreggino come cani, E circuiscano la città.

15 Andranno tapinando per trovar da mangiare; Avvegnachè non sieno sazii, pur passeranno così la notte.
