Psalm 14 (NIV)
1The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good.
2The Lord looks down from heaven on the sons of men to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God.
3All have turned aside, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.
4Will evildoers never learn- those who devour my people as men eat bread and who do not call on the Lord ?
5There they are, overwhelmed with dread, for God is present in the company of the righteous.
6You evildoers frustrate the plans of the poor, but the Lord is their refuge.
7Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When the Lord restores the fortunes of his people, let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!
Isaiah 44:6-8 (NIV)
6"This is what the Lord says- Israel's King and Redeemer, the Lord Almighty: I am the first and I am the last; apart from me there is no God.
7Who then is like me? Let him proclaim it. Let him declare and lay out before me what has happened since I established my ancient people, and what is yet to come- yes, let him foretell what will come.
8Do not tremble, do not be afraid. Did I not proclaim this and foretell it long ago? You are my witnesses. Is there any God besides me? No, there is no other Rock; I know not one."
