The Fool Says There Is No God
Psalm 53:1–6; Isaiah 59:1–17; Romans 3:9–20
1The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works; There is none that doeth good.+ 2Jehovah looked down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there were any that did understand, That did seek after God.+ 3They are all gone aside; they are together become filthy; There is none that doeth good, no, not one.+ 4Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, Who eat up my people [as] they eat bread, And call not upon Jehovah?+ 5There were they in great fear; For God is in the generation of the righteous.+ 6Ye put to shame the counsel of the poor, Because Jehovah is his refuge.+ 7Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When Jehovah bringeth back the captivity of his people, Then shall Jacob rejoice, [and] Israel shall be glad.+
