Psalm 14 14 Psalms Book 1 Arabic Simplified Text 1 ARST Only foolish people say to themselves,“There is no God!” People who say those things only do corrupt deeds; there is not one of them who does what is good. BSB BSB: For the choirmaster. Of David. The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt; their acts are vile. There is no one who does good.
2 ARST From heaven Yahweh looks down at everyone; he looks to see if anyone is very wise, wise enough to desire to know him. BSB BSB: The LORD looks down from heaven upon the sons of men to see if any understand, if any seek God.
3 ARST Everyone turns away from Yahweh. They are depraved and do disgusting, filthy things. No one does what is good. BSB BSB: All have turned away, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.
4 ARST Will those evil people never learn what God will do to punish them? They act violently toward Yahweh’ s people and want to consume them like one who eats food consumes it, and they never pray to Yahweh. BSB BSB: Will the workers of iniquity never learn? They devour my people like bread; they refuse to call upon the LORD.
5 ARST But some day they will become very terrified because God helps those who act righteously and will punish those who reject him. BSB BSB: There they are, overwhelmed with dread, for God is in the company of the righteous.
6 ARST Those who do evil may prevent helpless people from doing what they plan to do, but Yahweh protects them. BSB BSB: You sinners frustrate the plans of the oppressed, yet the LORD is their shelter.
7 ARST Out of Zion Yahweh will come and rescue the Israelite people! He will make his people free again and will bring them back to their home. On that day all of us Israelite people will rejoice, and we, who are also called the descendants of Jacob, will be happy. BSB BSB: Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come from Zion! When the LORD restores His captive people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad!
