Berean Standard Bible

Psalms 53:1-4

1 1 2The fool says in his heart,“There is no God.”

They are corrupt; their ways are vile.There is no one who does good.

2God looks down from heavenupon the sons of mento see if any understand,if any seek God.3All have turned away,they have together become corrupt;3there is no one who does good,not even one.4

4Will the workers of iniquity never learn?

They devour my people like bread;they refuse to call upon God.
