Psalms 14:2-6

2The Lord is looking down from heaven. He looks at the people of the world, to see if there are any wise people among them. He looks to see if anyone wants to know God.

3But everyone has turned away from God. They have all become evil. Not even one person does things that are right!

4Will those evil people never learn? They destroy my people, as if they are eating a meal. They never pray to the Lord.

5Look at them! Now they are very afraid! They see that God is with the people who obey him.

6You wicked people tried to bring shame to poor people. But the Lord keeps poor people safe.
