Expanded Bible

The Unbelieving Fool

For the director of music. Of David.

14 Fools say ·to themselves [L in their hearts],
    “There is no God [C Psalm 53 largely parallels this psalm].”
·Fools are evil [L They are corrupt] and do ·terrible [detestable] things [Deut. 32:5];
    there is no one who does anything good.

2 The Lord looked down from heaven on all people
    to see if anyone ·understood [L was wise/insightful],
    if anyone was ·looking to God for help [seeking God].
3 But all have ·turned [wandered] away.
    Together, everyone has become ·evil [perverse].
There is no one who does anything good,
    not even one [Rom. 3:10–12].
