6 un tremore li colse quivi, una doglia come di donna che partorisce.

Salmi 48:6 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 48:6

Fear took hold upon them there
That is, either when they came up to the city, and passed by it, and saw what they did; or, as Kimchi observes, in the place where they thought to have made a great slaughter; that is, in Armageddon, ( Revelation 16:16 ) ; so upon the slaughter of the seven thousand names of men, or men of name and renown, such as the kings here assembled, the remnant will be frightened, ( Revelation 11:13 ) ;

[and] pain, as of a woman in travail;
this figure is made use of elsewhere, when the destruction of Babylon and the coming of Christ are spoken of; see ( Isaiah 13:8 ) ( 1 Thessalonians 5:2 1 Thessalonians 5:3 ) .

7 Col vento orientale tu spezzi le navi di Tarsis.

8 Quel che avevamo udito l’abbiamo veduto nella città dell’Eterno degli eserciti, nella città del nostro Dio. Dio la renderà stabile in perpetuo. Sela.
