Psalm 14:2

A Portrait Of Sinners

¹ The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds, there is none who does good. ² The Lord has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men
To see if there are any who understand,
Who seek after God.
³ They have all turned aside; together they have become corrupt; there is none who does good, not even one.
