Psalm 53 53 Psalms Book 2 Arabic Simplified Text 1 ARST Only foolish people say to themselves,“There is no God!” People who say that are corrupt; they commit terrible sins; there is not one of them who does what is good. BSB BSB: For the choirmaster. According to Mahalath. A Maskil of David. The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt; their ways are vile. There is no one who does good.
2 ARST God looks down from heaven and sees humans; he looks to see if any man is very wise and seeks to know God. BSB BSB: God looks down from heaven upon the sons of men to see if any understand, if any seek God.
3 ARST But everyone has turned away from God. 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 all these evil people never learn what God will do to them? They hurt Yahweh’ s people with terrible violence. They had no guilt in what they did. They had the same expression on their faces as people eating bread at dinner. And what is worse is that they never prayed to Yahweh. BSB BSB: Will the workers of iniquity never learn? They devour my people like bread; they refuse to call upon God.
5 ARST But someday those people will become very terrified, although they have nothing to fear. For God will cause those who attack you to die, and he will scatter their bones. They have rejected God, so he will cause them to be defeated and completely disgraced. BSB BSB: There they are, overwhelmed with dread, where there was nothing to fear. For God has scattered the bones of those who besieged you. You put them to shame, for God has despised them.
6 ARST I wish that God would come and rescue the Israelite people! God, when you bless your people again, all the Israelite people, all the descendants of Jacob, will rejoice. BSB BSB: Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come from Zion! When God restores His captive people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad!
