Defender: Psa 37:13 - The Lord shall laugh

The concept of God laughing at the wicked seems strange in contrast to His mercy and longsuffering. But God's mocking laughter occurs after the wicked have conclusively rejected His proffered love and mercy and then continued in their arrogant rebellion against Him (Pro 1:24-26; Psa 2:1-5; Psa 59:8)."

Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per Ayat)

Poole: Psa 37:13 - Shall laugh at him // His day

Shall laugh at him i.e. shall despise and deride all their hopes and endeavours against the good, as most vain and foolish.

His day either,

1. God’ s day, which is a usual phrase, as Isa 2:12 13:9 . Or,

2. His own day, as 1Sa 26:10 Eze 21:25,29 . Both signify the same thing, the day appointed by God for his punishment or destruction, as Isa 9:4 Jer 50:27 .

Haydock: Psa 37:13 - Violence // Things

Violence. Hebrew, "laid snares." This treatment might be expected from enemies, since friends proved so treacherous. (Haydock) ---

They would willingly have slain David. The will is often put for the deed. (Calmet) ---

Things. Endeavouring to engage me again in sin, being displeased because I have quitted their evil company; (Worthington) or they raise their fortune, by causing dissensions in the state. This might be well applied to the Pharisees, who persecuted Christ.

Gill: Psa 37:13 - The Lord shall laugh at him // for he seeth that his day is coming

The Lord shall laugh at him,.... Have him and his plots in derision, confound his schemes, and disappoint him of his designs, bring him into calamity, and laugh at it; see Psa 2:4;

for he seeth that his day is coming; either the day of the Lord, which he has appointed to judge the world in, and which comes suddenly, at unawares, as a thief in the night, and is known unto the Lord, though to none else; or the day of the wicked man's ruin and destruction, to which he is appointed, and which is the same; and so the Targum is, "the day of his calamity": which the Lord observes is hastening on, when he will be for ever miserable.
