The Fool Says There Is No God
Psalm 53:1–6; Isaiah 59:1–17; Romans 3:9–20
1<To the chief music-maker. Of David.> The foolish man has said in his heart, God will not do anything. They are unclean, they have done evil works; there is not one who does good.+ 2The Lord was looking down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who had wisdom, searching after God.+ 3They have all gone out of the way together; they are unclean, there is not one who does good, no, not one.+ 4Have all the workers of evil no knowledge? they take my people for food as they would take bread; they make no prayer to the Lord.+ 5Then were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the upright.+ 6You have put to shame the thoughts of the poor, but the Lord is his support.+ 7May the salvation of Israel come out of Zion! when the fate of his people is changed by the Lord, Jacob will have joy and Israel will be glad.+
