Summary

Psalm 14:1–3 – Folly denies God What happens: The fool says there is no God; all turn aside and do corrupt deeds. What it means: Atheistic living is moral rebellion. Sin is universal and requires grace.

Psalm 14:4–6 – God with the righteous What happens: Evildoers oppress God’s people, but the Lord is their refuge. What it means: God sides with the humble who seek Him. Oppression will not erase His care.

Psalm 14:7 – Hope from Zion What happens: The psalmist longs for salvation to come from Zion and for Jacob to rejoice. What it means: God promises deliverance for His people. Hope looks to God’s saving act.

Application

  • Reject practical atheism in choices.
  • Take refuge in God when opposed.
  • Pray for renewal and rejoice when God restores.

Bible

1To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

2The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.

3They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

4Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.

5There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.

6Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge.

7Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
