“The fool says in his heart, 'There is no God'” (v1). The psalmist knew that the source of “abominable deeds” and every kind of sin is what humans tell themselves in their hearts. Humanity has “turned aside” (v3) from God’s truth; “not even one” is completely righteous. Those who persist in denying God’s reality and rule end up “corrupt” and justify terrible things, like mistreating the poor (v6) and taking advantage of others (v4). But the psalmist had faith in God’s salvation (v7).

Salvation has “come out of Zion” (v7) for Jews and Gentiles alike (Romans 3:9-10). The Father saw the condition of our hearts and sent the Son to open the way to forgiveness and healing.
