He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision.

Verse 4 is found in chapter 2 of Psalms. Psalm 2 presents a conflict between the rebellion of the nations and the government established by God. Human kings conspire against the Lord and his anointed, but the divine response is not uncertain: God asserts his sovereignty and declares the king to be his son within the context of Davidic kingship. The final invitation to serve the Lord with fear and take refuge in him turns the psalm into a reflection on authority, judgment, and trust.

Aber der im Himmel wohnt, lacht ihrer, und der HERR spottet ihrer.
El que mora en los cielos se reirá; El Señor se burlará de ellos.
Celui qui siège dans les cieux rit, Le Seigneur se moque d'eux.
Colui che siede ne’ cieli ne riderà; Il Signore si befferà di loro.
Aquele que habita nos céus se rirá; o Senhor zombará deles.
那坐在天上的必譏笑, 主必嗤笑他們。
