Psalms 14:2,3 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

It would have been some alleviation of our ruin, had the deadly sin been only here and there in certain instances, or even general in many instances: but when by the divine inquiry we find that the disease is universal, and that all have sinned and come short of God's glory, Reader, behold the misery of nature. Who is there that will venture to make an appeal against the decision? See Proverbs 20:9; Romans 3:9-19. I detain the Reader here to remark, that in our common-prayer translation there are added three verses similar to those in Paul's epistle to the Romans, Romans 3:13-18 which are not in this translation.

Psalms 14:2-3

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:a there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
