Salmene 48,7

5 De så det og ble forundret;
De ble skremt, de flyktet raskt.

6 Panikk grep dem der,
Angst, som en kvinne i fødsel.

Med østvinden
Knuser du Tarsis' skip.

8 Slik vi har hørt, så har vi sett
I Herren, hærskarenes by, i vår Guds by;
Gud vil grunnfeste henne for evig.
Sela

9 Vi har reflektert over Din miskunn, Gud,
Midt i Ditt tempel.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
