Psalms 14: No God, No Good, No Exception
A blunt look at universal corruption and the fool who denies God.
This chapter, following Psalms 13, opens with the blunt statement that the fool has said in his heart there is no God, and describes corrupt, abominable deeds spreading among people. God looks down from heaven searching for anyone who truly seeks Him.
A psalm for David. Lord, who shall dwell in thy tabernacle? or who shall rest in thy holy hill?
He that walketh without blemish, and worketh justice:
He that speaketh truth in his heart, who hath not used deceit in his tongue: Nor hath done evil to his neighbour: nor taken up a reproach against his neighbours.
In his sight the malignant is brought to nothing: but he glorifieth them that fear the Lord. He that sweareth to his neighbour, and deceiveth not;
He that hath not put out his money to usury, nor taken bribes against the innocent: He that doth these things, shall not be moved for ever.
