Psalm 14
(Psalms 14) "To 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. {2} The
LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there
were any that did understand, and seek God. {3} They are all gone
aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth
good, no, not one. {4} Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge?
who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.
{5} There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the
righteous. {6} Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the
LORD is his refuge. {7} Oh 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."
It seems like such a pessimistic view of the world. And perhaps it is
not a permanent view but what David saw at that time and that place. One
the other hand, we have to accept that mankind, without a savior, fits
that description. Without God we are lost and wondering in a fog. This is
borne out by the conclusion–a call for a savior.
