Berean Standard Bible
“The LORD looks down from heaven upon the sons of men to see if any understand, if any seek God.”
Psalm 14 opens by describing the folly of those who live as though God does not exist, and it appears again with small differences as Psalm 53. Paul later draws on this psalm in Romans 3 to show that all people need grace.
