Psalm 14:2

A Portrait Of Sinners

¹ {To the Chanter, a Psalm of David} The fool hath said in his heart, "Tush, there is no God." They are corrupt, and become abominable in their doings; there is none that doeth good, no not one. ² The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that would understand and seek after God. ³ But they are all gone out of the way, they are all together become abominable: there is none that doeth good, no not one.
