Psaume 37:13 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 37:13

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 ( Psalms 2:4 ) ( Proverbs 1:26 ) ;

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.

Psaume 37:13 In-Context

11 Mais les débonnaires posséderont la terre, et jouiront d'une paix abondante.

12 Le méchant machine contre le juste, et grince les dents contre lui.

13 Le Seigneur se rira de lui, car il voit que son jour approche.

14 Les méchants ont tiré l'épée et bandé leur arc, pour abattre l'affligé et le pauvre, pour égorger ceux qui suivent la droite voie.

15 Leur épée entrera dans leur cœur, et leurs arcs seront brisés.
