Folly of the Godless, and God’s Final Triumph(A)

“There is no God.”
They are corrupt,
They have done abominable works,
There is none who does good.
2 (C)The Lord looks down from heaven upon the children of men,
To see if there are any who understand, who seek God.

They have together become corrupt;
There is none who does good,
No, not one.
