Share

Settings

1 1The 2fool says in his heart, 3"There is no God." They are 4corrupt, they do abominable deeds, 5there is none who does good.
2 The LORD 6looks down from heaven on the children of man, to see if there are any who understand,[a] who 7seek after God.
3 They have all turned aside; together they have become 8corrupt; there is none who does good, not even one.

Psalms 14:1-3 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.
Taken from John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
