Context of Psalms 14:3

1The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they have committed detestable acts; There is no one who does good. 2The Lord has looked down from heaven upon the sons of mankind To see if there are any who understand, Who seek God. They have all turned aside, together they are corrupt; There is no one who does good, not even one. 4Do all the workers of injustice not know, Who devour my people as they eat bread, And do not call upon the Lord? 5There they are in great dread, For God is with a righteous generation.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 3They are all gone aside - This verse states the result of the divine investigation referred to in the previous verse.
