What does Psalms 14:5 mean?
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 14:4-6
4-6. Their conduct evinces indifference rather than ignorance of God; for when He appears in judgment, they are stricken with great fear. who eat up my people--to express their beastly fury (Pr 30:14; Ha 3:14). To "call on the Lord" is to worship Him.
