To the director: A song of David.

14 Only fools think there is no God.
    People like that are evil and do terrible things.
    They never do what is right.

The Lord looks down from heaven
    to see if there is anyone who is wise,
    anyone who looks to him for help.
But everyone has gone the wrong way.
    Everyone has turned bad.
No one does anything good.
    No, not one person!

They are corrupt, their deeds are vile;

The Lord looks down from heaven(C)
    on all mankind
to see if there are any who understand,(D)
    any who seek God.(E)
All have turned away,(F) all have become corrupt;(G)
    there is no one who does good,(H)
    not even one.(I)
