"As soon as they see, they are shocked; they are terrified, they quickly retreat."
— Psalms 48:5, NET Bible
“They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled, and hasted away.”
“They saw it, then were they amazed; They were dismayed, they hasted away. ”
“They saw it, then they were amazed. They were dismayed. They hurried away.”
“I will incline my ear to a parable; I will open my proposition on the psaltery.”
“They saw it, and so were full of wonder; they were troubled, and went quickly away in fear.”
“They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled, and hasted away.”
It is lofty and pleasing to look at, a source of joy to the whole earth. Mount Zion resembles the peaks of Zaphon; it is the city of the great king.
God is in its fortresses; he reveals himself as its defender.
For look, the kings assemble; they advance together.
As soon as they see, they are shocked; they are terrified, they quickly retreat.
Look at them shake uncontrollably, like a woman writhing in childbirth.
With an east wind you shatter the large ships.
We heard about God’s mighty deeds, now we have seen them, in the city of the LORD of Heaven’s Armies, in the city of our God. God makes it permanently secure.(Selah)
