The Fool Says There Is No God
(Psalms 53:1–6; Isaiah 59:1–17; Romans 3:9–20)
For the choirmaster. Of David.
The fool 1says in his heart, Psa 10:4Psa 53:1Rom 3:10-12Rom 1:21-32Psa 92:6Eph 2:1-3Gen 6:5Mat 12:34
“There is no God.”
They are corrupt; their acts are vile.
There is no one who does good.
The LORD looks down from heaven Rom 3:11Heb 11:6Psa 33:13-14Psa 102:19-20Gen 6:12Mat 13:152Ch 19:3Dan 12:10
upon the sons of men
to see if any understand,
if any seek God.
All have turned away, Rom 3:10-12Isa 53:6Isa 64:6Rom 3:23Psa 14:1Isa 59:13-15Isa 59:7-8Job 14:4
they have together become corrupt; 2
there is no one who does good,
not even one. 3
Will the workers of iniquity never learn? Psa 79:6Jer 10:25Psa 82:5Isa 64:7Rom 1:28Amo 8:4Eph 4:17-18Psa 27:2

yet the LORD is their shelter.
Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come from Zion! Psa 53:6Psa 85:1
When the LORD restores His captive people,
let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad!
