Folly and Wickedness of Men.

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.

14 The fool has (A)said in his heart, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt, they have committed abominable [a]deeds;
There is (B)no one who does good.
The Lord has (C)looked down from heaven upon the sons of men
To see if there are any who [b](D)understand,
Who (E)seek after God.
They have all (F)turned aside, together they have become corrupt;
There is (G)no one who does good, not even one.
