Psalms 14:1-4

Thomson(i) 1 For the conclusion. A Psalm by David. The fool said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt and by their works abominable: there is none who doeth good. No not one. 2 The Lord looked down from heaven on the children of men; to see if any had understanding or were seeking God. 3 They had all gone aside, they were altogether become vile: there is none who doeth good; no not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre: with their tongues they practised deceit: the poison of asps is under the lips of them whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: their feet are swift to shed blood: destruction and misery are in their ways: and the way of peace they did not know: there is no fear of God before their eyes. 4 Will they all continue senseless? They are going on in a course of iniquity: they are eating up my people as they do bread: they have not called on the Lord.
