Psalm 14:2-4

The Fool Says, There Is No God

2 The Lord l looks down from heaven on the children of man,
to see if there are any who understand, 1
who m seek after God.

3 They have all turned aside; together they have become n corrupt;
there is none who does good,
not even one.

4 Have they no o knowledge, all the evildoers
who p eat up my people as they eat bread
and q do not call upon the Lord?
