Context of Psalms 48:9
7Trembling seized them there, pain like a woman in labor. 8With an east wind You broke the ships of Tarshish. As we have heard, so have we seen, in the city of Adonai-Tzva’ot, in the city of our God. God will establish her forever. Selah 10We have meditated on Your lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of Your Temple. 11Like Your Name, O God, so is Your praise to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is full of righteousness.
