Psalm 14:2

A Portrait Of Sinners

¹ For the choir director. A Psalm of David.
The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt, they have committed abominable deeds;
There is no one who does good.
² The Lord has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men
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 no one who does good, not even one.
