There Is None Who Does Good


To the choirmaster: according to Mahalath. A Maskil of David.


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

        They are corrupt, doing abominable iniquity;

        there is none who does good.


    [2] God looks down from heaven

        on the children of man

    to see if there are any who understand,
