Psalm 14:3-5
New Catholic Bible
3 But they have all left the right path;
all alike are corrupt.
There is no one who does what is right,
not even one.[a]
4 Have all these evildoers[b] no understanding?
They devour my people as they eat bread,
and they never call upon the Lord.
5 But later they will be filled with terror,
for God is on the side of the righteous.[c]
