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

Verse 6 is found in chapter 14 of Psalms. Psalm 14 describes human corruption from God’s perspective. The fool is not simply someone lacking intellectual ability, but one who lives as though God had no authority over existence. Divine examination reveals a humanity that has gone astray, while the reference to the poor and God’s people introduces a social dimension: denying God also manifests itself through exploitation of one’s neighbor. The final hope looks toward salvation coming from Zion.

Ihr schändet des Armen Rat; aber Gott ist seine Zuversicht.
El consejo del pobre habéis escarnecido, Por cuanto Jehová es su esperanza.

Jetez l'opprobre sur l'espérance du malheureux... L'Eternel est son refuge.
Fate voi onta al consiglio del povero afflitto, Perciocchè il Signore è la sua confidanza?
Vós envergonhais o conselho dos pobres, porquanto o SENHOR é o seu refúgio.
你們叫困苦人的籌算變為羞辱, 然而耶和華是他的避難所。
