Psalm 48:4–7

For behold, the kings assembled;

they came on together.

As soon as they saw it, they were astounded;

they were in panic; they took to flight.

Trembling took hold of them there,

anguish as of a woman in labor.

By the east wind you shattered

the ships of Tarshish.

When the kings joined forces,

when they advanced together,

they saw her and were astounded;

they fled in terror.

Trembling seized them there,

pain like that of a woman in labor.

You destroyed them like ships of Tarshish

shattered by an east wind.

Look! The kings assembled;

they advanced together.

They looked and froze with fear;

they fled in terror.

Trembling seized them there,

agony like that of a woman in labor,

as you wrecked the ships of Tarshish

with the east wind.

The kings of the earth joined forces

and advanced against the city.

But when they saw it, they were stunned;

they were terrified and ran away.

They were gripped with terror

and writhed in pain like a woman in labor.

You destroyed them like the mighty ships of Tarshish

shattered by a powerful east wind.

For see, the kings assembled;

they advanced together.

They themselves saw it, so they were astonished.

They were terrified; they ran off.

Trembling seized them there—

pain as of a woman in labor.

With an east wind

you shatter the ships of Tarshish.

For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.

They saw it, and so they marvelled;

They were troubled, and hasted away.

Fear took hold upon them there,

And pain, as of a woman in travail.

Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.
