Psalm 48:6-8
New Catholic Bible

6 As soon as they beheld her, they were astounded;
    filled with panic, they fled.
7 They were seized with trembling,
    with pains like those of a woman in labor,
8 as though a wind from the east[a]
    were breaking up the ships of Tarshish.

  1. Psalm 48:8 East: geographical allusion mentioned in the introduction. Ships of Tarshish: i.e., the most powerful ships, built for long voyages—like those that went as far as Tarshish, perhaps Tartessus in southern Spain (see 1 Ki 10:22).
