Psalms 14:6 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

You have shamed the counsel of the poor Ye have desired and endeavoured to bring to shame, or to disappoint, the course which the godly poor man takes, and the resolution which he adopts, which is to trust in God, call upon his name, and proceed on in his way, which is a course and counsel very different from yours. Or, ye have reproach ed, or derided his counsel, as a foolish thing. Be cause the Lord is his refuge This was the ground of their contempt and scorn, that the godly man lived by faith in God's promise and providence. Or, but the Lord, &c. You reproach them, but God will own and protect them, and justify their counsel, which you deride.
