What happensPermalink
David laments the universal corruption of humanity, declaring that “none does good, not even one.” Yet instead of judgment, he pleads for salvation from Zion, praying that God will restore His people.
Why it mattersPermalink
When no one does good (Genesis 6:5) and evil consumes the earth, God answers not with destruction but salvation. David’s hope for rescue (v.7) finds its ultimate fulfillment in Jesus (Romans 11:26), who affirms that “none is good but God alone” (Luke 18:19) and provides righteousness for sinners (Romans 3:23–24).
Key versePermalink
Have they no knowledge, all the evildoers who eat up my people as they eat bread and do not call upon the Lord?
