1 Heb “a fool says in his heart.” The singular is used here in a collective or representative sense; the typical fool is envisioned.
2 There is no God. This statement is probably not a philosophical assertion that God does not exist, but rather a confident affirmation that he is unconcerned about how men live morally and ethically (see Ps 10:4, 11).
3 Heb “they act corruptly, they do evil [with] injustice.” Ps 14:1 has עֲלִילָה (’alilah, “a deed”) instead of עָוֶל (’aval, “injustice”). The verbs describe the typical behavior of the wicked. The subject of the plural verbs is “sons of man” (v. 2). The entire human race is characterized by sinful behavior. This practical atheism—living as if there is no God who will hold them accountable for their actions—makes them fools, for one of the earmarks of folly is to fail to anticipate the long range consequences of one’s behavior.
4 Heb “there is none that does good.”
5 The picture of the Lord looking down from heaven draws attention to his sovereignty over the world.
6 Heb “upon the sons of man.”
7 Or “acts wisely.” The Hiphil is exhibitive.
8 That is, who seeks to have a relationship with God by obeying and worshiping him.
9 Heb “all of it turns away.” Ps 14:1 has הָכֹּל (hakkol) instead of כֻּלּוֹ, and סָר (sar, “turn aside”) instead of סָג (sag, “turn away”).
10 Heb “together they are corrupt.”
11 Heb “there is none that does good.”
