14:1 Of the several words for “fool” in Wisdom literature (see Proverbs), the fool here (nabal) is neither a simpleton nor an ignorant dullard, but instead is a practical atheist. His denial of God may not be overt, but in his heart he lives as if God doesn’t exist. This psalm is repeated, with minor alterations, as Ps 53.
