Psalms 14: No God, No Good, No Exception
Tap a verse to highlight it

1 A psalm for David. Lord, who shall dwell in thy tabernacle? or who shall rest in thy holy hill?

2 He that walketh without blemish, and worketh justice:

3 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.

4 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;

5 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Psalms 14:1 say about the fool?
It opens, 'The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God,' followed by the claim that such people are corrupt and there is 'none that doeth good' — read it at Psalms 14:1.
How widespread does Psalms 14 say human corruption is?
It says God looks down from heaven to find anyone who understands and seeks him, but concludes 'they are all gone aside...there is none that doeth good, no, not one' (v.2-3), language later quoted in Romans 3:10-12.
What hope does Psalms 14 end with?
It closes longing for salvation to come out of Zion, so that when the LORD restores his people's fortunes, Jacob will rejoice and Israel will be glad (v.7).

Verse Of The Day

The verdict that none does good, not even one, is quoted directly in Romans 3:10-12 and referenced in Psalms 14:1, yet the chapter still closes hoping for Israel's salvation and Jacob's rejoicing before Psalms 15.
