Albert Barnes Commentary Psalms 59:8

"But thou, O Jehovah, wilt laugh at them; Thou wilt have all the nations in derision." — Psalms 59:8 (ASV)

But you, O Lord, will 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.

You will 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 motivated 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.
