The Unbelieving Fool

For the director of music. Of David.

14 Fools say to themselves,
    “There is no God.”
Fools are evil and do terrible things;
    there is no one who does anything good.

The Lord looked down from heaven on all people
    to see if anyone understood,
    if anyone was looking to God for help.
But all have turned away.
    Together, everyone has become evil.
There is no one who does anything good,
    not even one.

A Description of the Fool

The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt. They do disgusting things.
There is no one who does good.
The Lord looks down from heaven on all the children of Adam
    to see if there is anyone who understands, anyone who seeks God.
Every one of them has turned away.
Altogether they have become rotten.
There is no one who does good.
There is not even one.
