David
Psalm 37:13KJV·superscription
The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.
John Calvin Reformed
The faithful see the world in chaos: the godless prosper while the pious suffer, which tempts us to think God either absent or indifferent. This psalm strengthens us against that very temptation by declaring their felicity cursed and fleeting, while God's care for His own never fails, even in calamity.

Commenting on Psalm 37:12
C.H. Spurgeon Reformed Baptist
The Lord laughs at him with serene contempt while the scorner gnashes his teeth and foams, his destruction creeps near and he does not see it. Poor wretches, plotting against God's children with the foot of justice already uplifted to crush them.
