[a]Panic seized them there,
Anguish, as that of (A)a woman in childbirth.
With the (B)east wind
You (C)smash the (D)ships of Tarshish.
Just as we have heard, so have we seen
In the city of the Lord of armies, in the city of our God;
God will (E)establish her forever. Selah

  1. Psalm 48:6 Lit Trembling

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)
