Psalms 14 · John Wesley
The fool - The wicked man. Good - That is, actions really good or pleasing to God.
Looked - God knoweth all things without any enquiry: but he speaks after the manner of men. Upon - Upon the whole Israelitish nation, and upon all mankind for he speaks of all except his people, and the righteous ones, who are opposed to these, ver.4,5.
Gone - From God, and from the rule which he hath given them. Filthy - Loathsome and abominable to God.
Bread - With as little remorse, and with as much greediness. Call not - They are guilty not only of gross injustice towards men, but also of horrid impiety and contempt of God.
There - Upon the spot, where they practised these insolences, God struck them with a panick fear. For - God is on their side, and therefore their enemies have cause to tremble.
Because - This was the ground of their contempt, that he lived by faith in God's promise and providence.
