‏ Psalms 14:3

v. 3: The sad result is that they are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one . This means that everyone has turned away from God and become corrupt. People are not doing the good they were created for. Instead, sin has spread to all people, and their actions are called "abominable," which means very hateful to God (Jeremiah 44:4 a). This is true until God’s grace comes to change people’s hearts. When God first made the world, everything was very good (Genesis 1:31 b), but people quickly turned away, and now all have sinned (Genesis 6:5 c).

This psalm should make us feel sad about the sin in our own hearts and remind us how much we need God’s grace. Since we are naturally sinful, we should not be surprised that Jesus said, You must be born again (John 3:7 d).
