Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

Denunciation of Godlessness

To the choirmaster: according to Mahalath. A Maskil of David.

53 The fool says in his heart,
“There is no God.”
They are corrupt, doing abominable iniquity;
    there is none that does good.

2 God looks down from heaven
    upon the sons of men
to see if there are any that are wise,
    that seek after God.
