Psalms 14:1-5

Only the withering soul would say to himself, “There is no God.” Anyone who thinks like this is corrupt and callous, devoid of what is good. YAHWEH looks down in love, looking over all of Adam’s sons and daughters. He’s looking to see if there is anyone who acts wisely, any who are searching for God and wanting to please him. But everyone has wandered astray, walking stubbornly toward evil. Not one is good; he can’t even find one. They live in luxury while exploiting my people! Won’t these workers of wickedness ever learn? They don’t ever think of praying to God. But look at them now, in panic, trembling with terror. For God is on the side of his godly lovers.
