Psalms 14:2-3

2 The LORD has ¹looked down from heaven upon the sons of men To see if there are any who ²understand, Who ³seek after God.

3 They have all ⁴turned aside, together they have become corrupt; There is ⁵no one who does good, not even one.

Psalms 14:2-3 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.
