Psalms 37:13

13 et vim faciebant qui quaerebant animam meam et qui inquirebant mala mihi locuti sunt vanitates et dolos tota die meditabantur

Psalms 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.

Psalms 37:13 In-Context

11 cor meum conturbatum est dereliquit me virtus mea et lumen oculorum meorum et ipsum non est mecum

12 amici mei et proximi mei adversus me adpropinquaverunt et steterunt et qui iuxta me erant de longe steterunt

13 et vim faciebant qui quaerebant animam meam et qui inquirebant mala mihi locuti sunt vanitates et dolos tota die meditabantur

14 ego autem tamquam surdus non audiebam et sicut mutus non aperiens os suum

15 et factus sum sicut homo non audiens et non habens in ore suo redargutiones
