Psalm 14:6

Verse 6 of 7. The 14th of 150 chapters in Psalms, in Poetry and Wisdom.

2The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.

3They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

4Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the Lord.

5There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.

6Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the Lord is his refuge.

7Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the Lord bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

Matthew Henry on Psalm 14:6

They have his protection (v. 6): The Lord is their refuge. This is as much their security as it is the terror of their enemies, who may jeer them for their confidence in God, but cannot jeer them out of it. In the judgment-day it will add to the terror and confusion of sinners to see God own the generation of the righteous, which they have hated and bantered. 2.
