Psalm 53:1-3
English Standard Version

There Is None Who Does Good

To the choirmaster: according to (A)Mahalath. A Maskil[a] of David.

53 (B)The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”
    They are corrupt, doing abominable iniquity;
    there is none who does good.

2 God looks down from heaven
    on the children of man
to see if there are any who understand,[b]
    who seek after God.

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