Psalms59:8
(last clause). In the close of the verse, mention is made of all nations, to intimate, that though they might equal the whole world in numbers, they would prove a mere mockery with all their influence and resources. Or the words may be read —EVEN AS thou hast all the nations in derision. One thing is obvious, that David ridicules the vain boasting of his enemies, who thought no undertaking too great to be accomplished by their numbers. John Calvin.
Verses 8-9.
But thou, Lord, laugh at them;
You deride all the heathen.
His strength! Toward thee will I keep watch,
For God is my high fort. William Kay.
