- Chapter 14 -

The fool says there is no God

(Psalm 53:1-6; Isaiah 59:1-17; Romans 3:9-20)
1
The fool (a) says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt; their acts are vile. There is no one who does good.
2
The LORD looks down from heaven upon the sons of men to see if any understand, if any seek God.
3
All have turned away, they have together become corrupt;(b) there is no one who does good, not even one.(c)
4
Will the workers of iniquity never learn? They devour my people like bread; they refuse to call upon the LORD.
5
There they are, overwhelmed with dread, for God is in the company of the righteous.
6
You sinners frustrate the plans of the oppressed, yet the LORD is their shelter.
7
Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come from Zion! When the LORD restores His captive people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad!
