The answer is: Psalms

Ps 59:8

In the Psalms, humor takes an unexpected turn when we encounter divine laughter, particularly in Psalm 59:8, where the psalmist asserts, "But you, O Lord, laugh at them; you hold all the nations in derision." This moment isn’t just playful banter—it reflects the serious flouting of moral laws by people and groups who believe they can mock or outsmart the divine order.

Fun fact: This notion of God laughing is more than just an isolated incident. In Jewish storytelling traditions, God's laughter symbolizes His sovereign control over human affairs—essentially, a good-hearted chuckling at humanity's tendency to plot against good, revealing just how unchanged His power remains, despite the hilarious or alarming machinations of mankind.

Interestingly, the book of Proverbs echoes this theme of divine response, mentioning the pathways humanity takes with almost comic foresight— foreshadowing their ultimate folly without God. Psalms carries deep emotional tones, pairing passionate pleas and declarations with layers of joy, betrayal, chaos, and—yes—celestial laughter.

God’s laughter also serves as a invitation to not take ourselves too seriously; it reminds believers that any plans contrary to wisdom and righteousness are seen in broad daylight—like a poorly thought-out joke. In these connections, scripture encourages a reflective stance: to consider what makes God smile and what kind of shenanigans might prompt that holy chuckle! Keep this perspective in mind the next time you find yourself contriving your own plans; are they leading to laughter or lament?
