Psalm 53:1-3

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,

        who seek after God.

    [3] They have all fallen away;

        together they have become corrupt;

    there is none who does good,

        not even one.
