Psalm 14:1-3
Good News Translation

Human Wickedness[a](A)

14 (B)Fools say to themselves,
    “There is no God!”
They are all corrupt,
    and they have done terrible things;
    there is no one who does what is right.

2 The Lord looks down from heaven at us humans
    to see if there are any who are wise,
    any who worship him.
3 But they have all gone wrong;
    they are all equally bad.
Not one of them does what is right,
    not a single one.
