Psalm 14:2

A Portrait Of Sinners

¹ Fools say to themselves, "There is no God." They are corrupt and commit evil deeds; not one of them practices what is good. ² The LORD looks down from the heavens upon humanity to see if anyone shows discernment as he searches for God. ³ All have turned away, together they have become corrupt; no one practices what is good, not even one.
