I declare, “You are my God!”

Mazmur 48:6

48:6 Look at them shake uncontrollably, ¹ 

like a woman writhing in childbirth. ² 

Yesaya 21:4

21:4 My heart palpitates, ³ 

I shake in fear; ⁴ 

the twilight I desired

[48:6]  ¹ tn Heb “trembling seizes them there.” The adverb שָׁם (sham, “there”) is used here, as often in poetic texts, to point “to a spot in which a scene is localized vividly in the imagination” (BDB 1027 s.v.).

[48:6]  ² tn Heb “[with] writhing like one giving birth.”

[48:6]  sn The language of vv. 5-6 is reminiscent of Exod 15:15.

[21:4]  ³ tn Heb “wanders,” perhaps here, “is confused.”

[21:4]  ⁴ tn Heb “shuddering terrifies me.”
