This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Before, my own distrustful heart made me to laugh, now God makes me laugh, not through diffidence and irreverence, as before, Gen_18:12, but through excess of holy joy.
All that hear will laugh with me; or, at me; some through sympathy rejoicing with me and for me, laughter being oft put for joy, as Isa_54:1 Gal_4:27, &c.; other’s through scorn and derision, as at a thing which well may seem incredible to them, because it did so to me. See Gen_17:17 18:12,13,15.
