Do all these evildoers know nothing?

They devour my people as though eating bread;
    they never call on the Lord.
But there they are, overwhelmed with dread,
    for God is present in the company of the righteous.
You evildoers frustrate the plans of the poor,
    but the Lord is their refuge. Psalm 14:3-6

How do God presence Himself in the company of the righteous? How does that look practically?

Do all these evildoers know nothing?

They devour my people as though eating bread;
    they never call on the Lord.
But there they are, overwhelmed with dread,
    for God is present in the company of the righteous.
You evildoers frustrate the plans of the poor,
    but the Lord is their refuge. Psalm 14:3-6

Think about evildoing as a root of fear. How much fear can be shut down by practicing righteousness?

The Lord looks down from heaven
    on all mankind
to see if there are any who understand,
    any who seek God.
All have turned away, all have become corrupt;
    there is no one who does good,
    not even one. Psalm 14:2,3

Put yourself in God’s shoes for a moment. What feelings would you experience as you looked down on this?
