What does Psalm 14:6 mean?
You have shamed the counsel of the poor
The poor saints, the Lord's people, the generation of the
righteous, who are generally the poor of this world; poor in
spirit, and an afflicted people: and the counsel of them intends
not the counsel which they give to others, but the counsel which
they receive from the Lord, from the Spirit of counsel, which
rests upon them, and with which they are guided; and this is to
trust in the Lord, and to make him their refuge; and which is
good advice, the best of counsel. Happy and safe are they that
take it! But this is derided by wicked and ungodly men; they mock
at the poor saints for it, and endeavour to shame them out of it;
but hope makes not ashamed; see ( Psalms 22:7 Psalms 22:8 ) ;
because the Lord [is] his refuge:
he betakes himself to him when all others fail; and finds him to
be a refuge from the storm of impending calamities, and from all
enemies.
