Context of Psalms 14:3
1The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, They have done abominable works, There is none who does good. 2The Lord looks down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there are any who understand, who seek God. They have all turned aside, They have together become corrupt; There is none who does good, No, not one. 4Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, Who eat up my people as they eat bread, And do not call on the Lord? 5There they are in great fear, For God is with the generation of the righteous.

- 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.
