Psalms 2:4

David envisioned God as ruler over all, sitting on His royal throne in heaven, not at all threatened or worried about the plan of the nations, but laughing at its futility. The figure of God sitting on His throne is a common personification that the psalmists used (cf. Psalms 9:11; Psalms 22:3; Psalms 29:10; Psalms 55:19; Psalms 102:12; Psalms 113:5; Isaiah 6:1; Ezekiel 1:26; Revelation 4:2; Revelation 5:1). This is the only place in Scripture where the writer described God as laughing.
