Psalms 53:2 in Context — Psalms 53

1 Au chef des chantres. Sur la flûte. Cantique de David.

2 L’insensé dit en son cœur: Il n’y a point de Dieu! Ils se sont corrompus, ils ont commis des iniquités abominables; Il n’en est aucun qui fasse le bien.

3 Dieu, du haut des cieux, regarde les fils de l’homme, Pour voir s’il y a quelqu’un qui soit intelligent, Qui cherche Dieu.

4 Tous sont égarés, tous sont pervertis; Il n’en est aucun qui fasse le bien, Pas même un seul.
