Psalm 53[a]

For the choir director; according to mahalath,[b] a maskil by David.

Godless fools say in their hearts,
    “There is no Elohim.”
    They are corrupt.
    They do disgusting things.
    There is no one who does good things.
Elohim looks down from heaven on Adam’s descendants
    to see if there is anyone who acts wisely,
        if there is anyone who seeks help from Elohim.
Everyone has fallen away.
    Together they have become rotten to the core.
        No one, not even one person, does good things.
