Psalms 53
Psalms 53 opens with these words: “The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity. There is no one who does good.” The line to keep is Psalms 53:1: “The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity. There is no one who does good.” Carry the word “fool” from that verse into the rest of the day.
