Ps. 14:1      Ps. 14:3

Psalms 14:2

The Lord (Yahweh) looks down from heaven
upon the children of men (Adam's children),
to see if there are any who are wise (live wisely),
any who seek (ask for, take refuge in, often appear before) God.
[Like the previous verse, this one also brings to mind Gen. and how God came down to see what people were doing when they built the Tower of Babel, see Gen. 11:5.]
