The folly and wickedness of men.

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

14 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.
They are corrupt, they have done abominable works;
There is none that doeth good.
Jehovah looked down from heaven upon the children of men,
To see if there were any that did [a]understand,
That did seek after God.
They are all gone aside; they are together become filthy;
There is none that doeth good, no, not one.
