Psalm 48:6-8
Expanded Bible

6 ·Fear [L Trembling] ·took hold of [seized] them;
    they ·hurt [were in pain] like a woman ·having a baby [in labor].
7 You ·destroyed [broke up] the ·large trading ships [L ships of Tarshish; C large trading vessels capable of going to distant ports; Tarshish may have been in Spain (Tartessus) or an island in the eastern Mediterranean; Is. 2:16; Jon. 1:3]
    with an east wind.

8 First we heard
    and now we have seen
that God ·will always keep his city safe [establishes forever].
    It is the city of the Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; T of hosts],
the city of our God. ·Selah [Interlude]
