PSALM 14

THE FOOL SAYS THERE IS NO GOD

David cries out to God, frustrated with the disobedience and faithlessness he is witnessing in Israel. David describes the unbeliever, calling those who don’t know God corrupt and foolish. It is important to remember that David is the one speaking here, not God. God shows throughout Scripture that He chooses unlikely people to establish His plans and endlessly pursues His creation. 

David asks God to intervene in Israel, bringing salvation and restoration to His people. 

Psalm 14:7 - Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When the Lord restores the fortunes of his people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.
