Psalms 14 · Geneva Bible Notes (1599)

"To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David." The fool hath said in his heart, (a) [There is] no God. They are (b) corrupt, they have done abominable works, [there is] none that doeth good. (a) He shows that the cause of all wickedness if forgetting God. (b) There is nothing but disorder and wickedness among them. Psalms 14:3

They are (c) all gone aside, they are [all] together become filthy: [there is] none that doeth good, no, not one. (c) David here makes comparisons between the faithful and the reprobate, but Paul speaks the same of all men naturally, ( Rom 3:10 ). Psalms 14:5

(d) There were they in great fear: for God [is] in the generation of the righteous. (d) Where they think themselves most sure. Psalms 14:6

Ye have (e) shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD [is] his refuge. (e) You mock them who put their trust in God. Psalms 14:7

Oh that the salvation of (f) Israel [were come] out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, [and] Israel shall be glad. (f) He prays for the whole Church whom he is assured God will deliver: for no one else but he can do it.
