Trembling took hold of them there,
Pain, as of a woman in travail.
[a]With the east wind
Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish.
As we have heard, so have we seen
In the city of Jehovah of hosts, in the city of our God:
God will establish it for ever. Selah

  1. Psalm 48:7 Or, As with the east wind that breaketh

Trembling seized(A) them there,
    pain like that of a woman in labor.(B)
You destroyed them like ships of Tarshish(C)
    shattered by an east wind.(D)

As we have heard,
    so we have seen
in the city of the Lord Almighty,
    in the city of our God:
God makes her secure
    forever.[a](E)
