Psalms 48:5-8 in English

⁵ They saw it, then were they amazed; They were dismayed, they hasted away.

⁶ Trembling took hold of them there, Pain, as of a woman in travail.

⁷ With the east wind Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish.

⁸ 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

⁵ I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my riddle on the harp.

⁶ Wherefore should I fear in the evil day? the iniquity of my heel shall compass me.

⁷ They that trust in their strength, and boast themselves in the multitude of their wealth—

⁸ A brother does not redeem, shall a man redeem? he shall not give to God a ransom for himself,

⁵ They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled, and hasted away.

⁶ Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail.

⁷ A brother does not redeem, shall a man redeem? he shall not give to God a ransom for himself,

⁸ or the price of the redemption of his soul, though he labor for ever,

⁵ They saw it, then were they amazed; they were dismayed, they hasted away.

⁷ they shook like ships sailing from Tarshish are shaken by a strong wind.

⁸ We had heard that this city is glorious, and now we have seen that it is. It is the city in which Yahweh, the almighty one, lives. It is the city which God will preserve/protect forever.

⁵ Therefore should I fear in the evil day? the iniquity of my heel shall compass me.

⁵ As soon as they saw it they were astonished and ran away terrified.

⁶ They shook all over, and were in agonizing pain like a woman giving birth,

⁷ just as the strong east wind wrecks the ships from Tarshish.

⁷ As with an East winde thou breakest the shippes of Tarshish, so were they destroyed.

⁸ As we haue heard, so haue we seene in the citie of the Lord of hostes, in the Citie of our God: God will stablish it for euer. Selah.
