(Verse 1) "Only fools say in their hearts, "There is no God." They are corrupt, and their actions are evil. No one does good!"
The God the writer is talking about in this verse is Jesus. We know this because in verse 7 the writer says, "Oh, that salvation would come from Mount Zion to rescue Israel!" That is, when will Jesus come and save his people? We know that Jesus did come, because Jesus the Savior was born to the Jews many years later, and died to take away our sins.
The people who deny Jesus "are corrupt, and their actions are evil" because they deny that Jesus is God. Yes, they may say that Jesus is "a" God, or that Jesus came from God, but they will not say that Jesus is God Most High. They completely ignore the Scripture that says, "For unto us a child is born, and unto us a son is given. And his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, THE MIGHTY GOD. ..." Then is says that this is guaranteed by God himself.
