Psalm 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.

Psalm 37:13 In-Context

11 Mas los humildes poseerán la tierra, y se deleitarán en abundante prosperidad.

12 El impío trama contra el justo, y contra él rechina sus dientes.

13 El Señor se ríe de él, porque ve que su día se acerca.

14 Los impíos han sacado la espada y entesado el arco, para abatir al afligido y al necesitado, para matar a los de recto proceder.

15 Su espada penetrará en su propio corazón, y sus arcos serán quebrados.
