Commentary on Psalms 37:13
God's laughter isn't frivolous but judicial—He mocks those who mock Him (Psalm 2:4), showing divine sovereignty over human rebellion. The phrase 'his day is coming' refers to appointed judgment, individually and ultimately. This day is certain ('seeth') from God's eternal perspective; He knows what the wicked don't—their doom approaches. Divine laughter expresses contempt for pretensions challenging omnipotence, assuring believers that God isn't threatened by wickedness but amused by its futile opposition to His purposes.
