Psalm 14
1. David describes a natural man
4. He convinces the wicked by the light of their conscience
7. He glories in the salvation of God














(6) Counsel.--This confidence, this piety, this appeal addressed to the supreme Protector, is in this verse called the "counsel," the "plan" of the sufferer, and the poet asks, "Would ye then make the sufferer blush for such a thought?" "No, for Jehovah is his refuge." The Authorised Version has here missed the sense by rendering in the past tense.

Verse 6. - Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the Lord is his Refuge. The sense is obscure. Some translate, "Ye may shame the counsel of the poor (i.e. put it to shame, baffle it); but in vain; for the poor have a sure Refuge," and the ultimate triumph will belong to them. Others, "Ye pour contempt on the poor man's counsel," or "resolve," because "the Lord is his Refuge;" i.e. ye contemn it, and deride it, just because it rests wholly on a belief in God, which you regard as folly (see ver. 1).
