Psalms 59:13
Destroy them in wrath, destroy them that they may be no more;
That men may know that God rules in Jacob
To the ends of the earth.
Selah.
David calls here for God to be the righteous God that he is and not let evil go unpunished. One of the things that this accomplishes is that when they see judgment on evil all men to the ends of the earth know that God rules in Jacob.
Imagine a world in which evil went unpunished. In which women were attacked with impunity and their attackers got off scot free. I would hate that kind of world, so would you. This is why I am so happy about psalms like this one. God is the righteous judge, he does not allow evil to go unpunished.
Spurgeon: Let even the most remote nations know that the great moral Governor has power to destroy ungodliness, and does not wink at iniquity in any, at any time, or in any place.
