Psalms 59:8

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, 1 Samuel 19:16 ; the same is said as here with respect to the enemies of Christ, Psalm 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 Psalm 59:5 ; or the Gentiles that were gathered together against Christ, Psalm 2:1 ; or the antichristian states and powers, who will be triumphed over at the time of their ruin, Revelation 18:20 ; and even all the wicked at the last day, Proverbs 1:26 .
