Psalms 53:2

¹ The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt; their ways are vile. There is no one who does good.

God looks down from heaven upon the sons of men to see if any understand, if any seek God.

³ All have turned away, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.

⁴ Will the workers of iniquity never learn? They devour my people like bread; they refuse to call upon God.
