But you, Lord, laugh at them. You scoff at all the nations.
KJV
But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.

But thou, O Lord, shall laugh at them,.... Disappoint their counsels, hinder them from performing their enterprise; send them back with shame and confusion, and expose them to the laughter and derision of others; as Saul's messengers were, when instead of David they found an image in the bed, with a pillow of goats' hair for its bolster,
Sa1 19:16
; the same is said as here with respect to the enemies of Christ,
Psa 2:4
;
thou shall have all the Heathen in derision: either David's enemies, who, though Israelites, yet acted like Heathens to him, as in
Psa 59:5
; or the Gentiles that were gathered together against Christ,
Psa 2:1
; or the antichristian states and powers, who will be triumphed over at the time of their ruin,
Rev 18:20
; and even all the wicked at the last day,
Pro 1:26
.
