Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 2:4

4. He that sitteth in the Heavens shall laugh : the LORD shall have them in derision.

As the Judg upon his tribunal, and as the King of the whole world upon his royal throne; who without stirring from his place, can with one look or word destroy all his enemies.

This is opposed to their being, and reigning upon earth, v. 2. and is mentioned here, as it is in other places of Scripture, as an evidence both of Gods clear and certain knowledg of all things that are done below, as is noted Psal. 11. 4. And of his soveraign and irresistible power, as is hence gathered, Psal. 115. 3. See the preface to the Lord's prayer.

(i. e.) Shall both despise and deride them and all their crafty devices, which he shall manifest to the world to be ridiculous, and contemptible follies. Compare 2. Kings 19. 21. Psal. 37. 13.
