⁸ But thou O God wylt haue them in derision: thou wylt laugh all Heathen to scorne. ⁹ I wyl reserue his strength for thee: for thou O Lorde art my refuge. ¹⁰ My mercifull Lord wyll preuent me: the Lord will let me see [my desire] vpon mine enemies. ¹¹ Slay them not, lest my people forget it: but in thy stoutnes scatter them like vagaboundes, and put them downe O God our defence. ¹² The wordes of their lippes [be] the sinne of their mouth: O let them be taken in their pryde, for they speake nothing but curses and lies. ¹³ Consume them in thy wrath, consume them that nothing of them remayne: and let them knowe that it is the Lord that ruleth in Iacob, & vnto the endes of the worlde.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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; 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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

But thou, O Lord, shalt laugh at them - That is, God will hear them, and will have all their efforts in derision, or will treat them with contempt. See Psalms 2:4, note; Psalms 37:13, note.

Thou shalt have all the heathen in derision - All those referred to in this psalm - the enemies of David - who have the character, and who manifest the spirit of the pagan; that is, of those who are not actuated by true religion. See the notes at Psalms 59:5. This verse expresses the strong conviction of David, that all the efforts of his enemies would be vain; that God “would be” his Protector; and that he would save him from their evil designs.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 59:8. Thou, O Lord, shalt laugh at them — They have mocked us; God will turn them and their schemes into ridicule and contempt: "Thou shalt have all these heathenish nations in derision."
