Clarke's Psalms 37:13 Bible Commentary
He seeth that his day is coming - The utter desolation of your oppressors is at hand. All this may be said of every wicked man.
Barnes's Psalms 37:13 Bible Commentary
The Lord shall laugh at him - See the notes at Psalm 2:4. That is, he will regard all his attempts as vain - as not worthy of serious thought or care. The language is that which we use when there is no fear or apprehension felt. It is not that God is unfeeling, or that he is disposed to deride man, but that he regards all such efforts as vain, and as not demanding notice on the ground of anything to be apprehended from them.
For he seeth that his day is coming - The day of his destruction or overthrow. He sees that the wicked man cannot be ultimately successful, but that destruction is coming upon him. There is nothing ultimately to be apprehended from his designs, for his overthrow is certain.
Wesley's Psalms 37:13 Bible Commentary
37:13 His day - The day appointed by God for his punishment or destruction.
