Exegesis
The second clause employs the negative existential particle ēn {אֵ֤ין | ʾēn} in ein ōseh-tôv {עֹֽשֵׂה־ט֑וֹב | ʿō-sēh ṭôv} ‘there is no one who does good,’ where the participle and its object denote ongoing moral action.
Root and etymology

In context — Psalm 14:3
All have turned aside; together they have become corrupt. There is no one who does good, not even one.
