Context of Psalms 14:5
3They have all turned aside, together they have become corrupt; There is no one who does good, not even one. 4Do all the workers of wickedness not know, Who eat up my people as they eat bread, And do not call upon the Lord? There they are in great dread, For God is with the righteous generation. 6You would put to shame the counsel of the afflicted, But the Lord is his refuge. 7Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When the Lord restores His captive people, Jacob will rejoice, Israel will be glad.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 5There were they in great fear - Margin, as in Hebrew, “they feared a fear.” The idea is, that they were in great terror or consternation.
