The Fool and the Seeker

Name Date

Read and Think

Psalm 14's title says it is for the Chief Musician and is by David. It opens with a sad sentence: The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. In the Bible, a fool is not someone who is unintelligent but someone who lives as if God does not matter. Such people are corrupt and have done abominable deeds.

Then Yahweh looks down from heaven on the children of men to see if any understood and sought after God. The answer is hard: They have all gone aside. There is no one who does good, no, not one. In the New Testament, Paul uses these words to show that all people need God's grace (Romans 3:10-12). Yet the psalm ends with hope. God is in the generation of the righteous, Yahweh is the refuge of the poor, and David longs for salvation to come out of Zion.

No One Who Does Good

Name Date

Read and Think

Psalm 14's title says it is for the Chief Musician and is by David. It begins with a diagnosis of the human heart: The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. The biblical fool is not lacking intelligence but lacking reverence. Such a person may never say the words aloud, but he says them in his heart by living as if God will never see or judge. The result is corruption and abominable deeds.

Verse 2 gives heaven's view: Yahweh looked down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who understood, who sought after God. Verse 3 gives the verdict: They have all gone aside. They have together become corrupt. There is no one who does good, no, not one. In the New Testament, Paul quotes this psalm to show that all people, not just some, are sinners who need God's grace (Romans 3:10-12).

The psalm then turns. The workers of iniquity harm God's people and don't call on Yahweh, but they end in great fear, for God is in the generation of the righteous. They frustrate the plan of the poor, because Yahweh is his refuge. The final verse is a longing prayer: Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When Yahweh restores the fortunes of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
