All Disobey God's Laws 1 (Psalm 14:1-6)

1Only fools say in their hearts, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and their actions are evil; not one of them does good! 2The lord looks down from heaven on the entire human race; he looks to see if anyone is truly wise, if anyone seeks God. 3But no, all have turned away; all have become corrupt. No one does good, not a single one! 4Will those who do evil never learn? They eat up my people like bread and wouldn’t think of praying to the lord. 5Terror will grip them, for God is with those who obey him. 6The wicked frustrate the plans of the oppressed, but the lord will protect his people.
