1 <> The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, they have done abominable works. There is none who does good.
2 The LORD looked down from heaven on the children of men, To see if there were any who did understand, Who did seek after God.
3 They have all gone aside; they have together become corrupt. There is none who does good, no, not one.
4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, Who eat up my people as they eat bread, And don't call on the LORD?
5 There were they in great fear, For God is in the generation of the righteous.
6 You put to shame the counsel of the poor, Because the LORD is his refuge.

Psalm 14:1-6 Meaning and Commentary

To the chief Musician, [a Psalm] of David. The argument of this psalm, according to Theodoret, is Sennacherib's invasion of Judea, when he sent Rabshakeh to Hezekiah, with menaces and curses; upon which Hezekiah implored divine help, and obtained it, and the Assyrian army was destroyed by an angel; of all which he thinks this psalm was prophetic.
