Voilà, ils vomissent l'injure de leur bouche; des épées sont sur leurs lèvres; car, disent-ils, qui nous entend?
Mais toi, Éternel, tu te riras d'eux, tu te moqueras de toutes les nations.
Mais toi, Eternel! tu te riras d'eux, tu te moqueras de toutes les nations.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
But thou, O Lord, shall laugh at them,.... Disappoint their counsels, hinder them from performing their enterprise; send them back with shame and confusion, and expose them to the laughter and derision of others; as Saul's messengers were, when instead of David they found an image in the bed, with a pillow of goats' hair for its bolster,
1 Samuel 19:16; the same is said as here with respect to the enemies of Christ, Psalms 2:4;
thou shall have all the Heathen in derision: either David's enemies, who, though Israelites, yet acted like Heathens to him, as in Psalms 59:5; or the Gentiles that were gathered together against Christ, Psalms 2:1; or the antichristian states and powers, who will be triumphed over at the time of their ruin, Revelation 18:20; and even all the wicked at the last day, Proverbs 1:26.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
But thou, O Lord, shalt 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.
Thou shalt 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 actuated 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.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 59:8. Thou, O Lord, shalt laugh at them — They have mocked us; God will turn them and their schemes into ridicule and contempt: "Thou shalt have all these heathenish nations in derision."
