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