Psalms 14:2 in Context — Psalms 14
1 Au chef des chantres. De David. L’insensé dit en son cœur: Il n’y a point de Dieu! Ils se sont corrompus, ils ont commis des actions abominables; Il n’en est aucun qui fasse le bien.
2 L’Éternel, du haut des cieux, regarde les fils de l’homme, Pour voir s’il y a quelqu’un qui soit intelligent, Qui cherche Dieu.
3 Tous sont égarés, tous sont pervertis; Il n’en est aucun qui fasse le bien, Pas même un seul.
4 Tous ceux qui commettent l’iniquité ont-ils perdu le sens? Ils dévorent mon peuple, ils le prennent pour nourriture; Ils n’invoquent point l’Éternel.
