Psalms 53:3 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 53:3

Every one of them is gone back
From God, and the way of his commandments. In ( Psalms 14:3 ) , it is, "they are all gone aside"; (See Gill on Psalms 14:3);

they are altogether become filthy; [there is] none that doeth good,
no, not one.
What follows in this verse is the same as ( Psalms 14:3 ) .

Psalms 53:3 In-Context

1 For the leader. On machalat. A maskil of David: A brutish fool tells himself, "There isn't any God."Such people are depraved, all their deeds are vile, not one of them does what is good.
2 God looks out from heaven upon the human race to see if even one is wise, if even one seeks God.
3 Every one of them is unclean, altogether corrupt; not one of them does what is good, not a single one.
4 Won't these evildoers ever learn? They devour my people as if they were eating bread, and they never call on God!
5 They will be gripped with terror, even though now they are not afraid; for God will scatter the bones of him who is besieging you. You are putting them to shame, because God has rejected them.
