Psalms 14
Psalms 14 opens with these words: “The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt. They have done abominable deeds. There is no one who does good.” The line to keep is Psalms 14:1: “The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt. They have done abominable deeds. There is no one who does good.” Carry the word “fool” from that verse into the rest of the day.
