Ps 14 This wisdom psalm contains some characteristics of lament and prophetic speech. The ideals of Ps 8 have run aground on the reality of foolish human attitudes and sinful actions. With the exception of vv 5-6, this psalm parallels Ps 53.
14:2-3 From heaven (33:13; 80:14; 102:19), the Lord sees the wicked, who stand out as vile sinners (11:3-5). The entire human race lacks wisdom and fails to live up to the glory originally given to them (10:4-11; see Rom 1–3).
