Psalm 14:1-3

The Fool Says, There Is No God

To the choirmaster. Of David.

    [1] The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”

        They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds;

        there is none who does good.

    [2] The LORD looks down from heaven on the children of man,

        to see if there are any who understand,

        who seek after God.

    [3] They have all turned aside; together they have become corrupt;

        there is none who does good,

        not even one.
