The Unbelieving Fool

For the director of music. Of David.

14 Fools say to themselves,
    “There is no God.”
Fools are evil and do terrible things;
    there is no one who does anything good.

The Lord looked down from heaven on all people
    to see if anyone understood,
    if anyone was looking to God for help.
But all have turned away.
    Together, everyone has become evil.
There is no one who does anything good,
    not even one.
