Psalm 14:4-6
New Catholic Bible
4 Have all these evildoers[a] no understanding?
They devour my people as they eat bread,
and they never call upon the Lord.
5 But later they will be filled with terror,
for God is on the side of the righteous.[b]
6 They sought to crush the hopes of the poor,[c]
but the Lord is their refuge.
