Psalms 14: No God, No Good, No Exception
Tap a verse to highlight it

1 To the Overseer. -- By David. A fool hath said in his heart, `God is not;' They have done corruptly, They have done abominable actions, There is not a doer of good.

2 Jehovah from the heavens Hath looked on the sons of men, To see if there is a wise one -- seeking God.

3 The whole have turned aside, Together they have been filthy: There is not a doer of good, not even one.

4 Have all working iniquity not known? Those consuming my people have eaten bread, Jehovah they have not called.

5 There they have feared a fear, For God `is' in the generation of the righteous.

6 The counsel of the poor ye cause to stink, Because Jehovah `is' his refuge.

7 `Who doth give from Zion the salvation of Israel? When Jehovah doth turn back `To' a captivity of His people, Jacob doth rejoice -- Israel is glad!

Verse Of The Day

The verdict that none does good, not even one, is quoted directly in Romans 3:10-12 and referenced in Psalms 14:1, yet the chapter still closes hoping for Israel's salvation and Jacob's rejoicing before Psalms 15.
