Psalm 14 :: New International Version (NIV)

(Psa 53:1–6 )

Psa 14:3All have turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.

Psa 14:4

Psa 14:4Do all these evildoers know nothing? They devour my people as though eating bread; they never call on the LORD.

Psa 14:5

Psa 14:5But there they are, overwhelmed with dread, for God is present in the company of the righteous.

Psa 14:6

Psa 14:6You evildoers frustrate the plans of the poor, but the LORD is their refuge.
