Psalm 14:3-5

The Fool Says, There Is No 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?

5 There they are in great terror,
for God is with r the generation of the righteous.
