No, it is Psalm 14:1.  Because the Bible was not originally written
in English (which may come as a surprise to some people), there
are various versions or translations of this passage.  In my copy
of the New Oxford Annotated Bible (3rd ed; 2001), it appears
on page 785 Hebrew Bible.  A webpage with various translations
is available here:
http://bible.cc/psalms/14-1.htm

Make sure to read the commentaries.
