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 Les misérables possèdent le pays, Et ils jouissent abondamment de la paix.

12 Le méchant forme des projets contre le juste, Et il grince des dents contre lui.

13 Le Seigneur se rit du méchant, Car il voit que son jour arrive.

14 Les méchants tirent le glaive, Ils bandent leur arc, Pour faire tomber le malheureux et l'indigent, Pour égorger ceux dont la voie est droite.

15 Leur glaive entre dans leur propre coeur, Et leurs arcs se brisent.
