Psalm 53:6

 1 The  fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity;  There is none who does good.  2 God looks down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there are any who understand, who  seek God.  3 Every one of them has turned aside; They have together become corrupt; There is none who does good, No, not one.  4 Have the workers of iniquity  no knowledge, Who eat up my people as they eat bread, And do not call upon God?  5  There they are in great fear Where no fear was, For God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against you; You have put them to shame, Because God has despised them.  6  Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When God brings back  the captivity of His people, Let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad.
