Lots of people say the Lord likes a good joke, and maybe He
does. But there’s only one place in the entire Bible where God laughs. Psalm
2:4: He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord holds them in derision.
But this isn’t a pleasant, affectionate, indulgent laugh,
like the chuckle you get watching children play. This is a mocking, ridiculing,
scoffing kind of laugh. The NET Bible translates Psalm 2:4 this way: The one
enthroned in heaven laughs in disgust; the Lord taunts them.
