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.+ 2The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.+ 3They are all gone aside, they are all 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 the LORD.+ 5There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.+ 6Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge.+ 7Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.+
