The fool says there is no God

(Psalm 53:1-6; Isaiah 59:1-17; Romans 3:9-20)
1
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
2
The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.
3
They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.(a)
4
Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the Lord .
5
There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.(b)
6
Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the Lord is his refuge.
7
Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the Lord bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.(c)
