Salmi 59:8

8 Ma tu, Signore, ti riderai di loro; Tu ti befferai di tutte le genti.

Salmi 59:8 Meaning and Commentary

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, ( Psalms 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 ( Psalms 59:5 ) ; or the Gentiles that were gathered together against Christ, ( Psalms 2:1-4 ) ; 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 ) .

Salmi 59:8 In-Context

6 La sera vanno e vengono; romoreggiano come cani, E circuiscono la città.

7 Ecco, sgorgano parole colla lor bocca; Hanno de’ coltelli nelle lor labbra; perciocchè dicono: Chi ci ode?

8 Ma tu, Signore, ti riderai di loro; Tu ti befferai di tutte le genti.

9 Io mi guarderò dalla lor forza, riducendomi a te; Perciocchè tu, o Dio, sei il mio alto ricetto.

10 L’Iddio mio benigno mi verrà ad incontrare; Iddio mi farà veder ne’ miei nemici quello che io desidero.
