'Good' in the Bible

Many say, Who shall cause us to see good? Lift up upon us the light of thy countenance, O Jehovah.

{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They have corrupted themselves, they have done abominable works: there is none that doeth good.
