Psalm 53:1–6, “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good. God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God. Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God. There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them. Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.”

A fool is someone who acts in a self destructive way. He thinks that he is doing things that are good for himself but, in the end, he had nothing to hope in or rely on.(Compare Prov 14: 12, 16: 25) A person who says to himself that there is no God, is the kind of person who is working to self destruct. They don’t have any true standards of goodness to aspire to but the only work in self interest. If people don’t believe in any firm foundation for true and proper behaviour they will soon end up living a world that is base and destructive. On the other hand, David longed that people would see and know the Lord, Who had chosen to place His Name in Zion and live up to His high standards. Under those conditions the world would be a place filled with peace and compassion.
