The Difference Faith Makes

1 The fool has (A) said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, they have committed abominable deeds; there is (B) no one who does good.

2 The LORD has (C) looked down from heaven upon the sons of men to see if there are any who (D) understand, who (E) seek after God.

3 They have all (F) turned aside, together they have become corrupt; there is (G) no one who does good, not even one.

4 Do all the workers of wickedness (H) not know, who (I) eat up my people as they eat bread, and (J) do not call upon the LORD?

5 There they are in great dread, for God is with the (K) righteous generation.

6 You would put to shame the counsel of the afflicted, but the LORD is his (L) refuge.

7 Oh, that (M) the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When the LORD [a](N) restores His captive people, Jacob will rejoice, Israel will be glad.

-Psalm 14
