5They have seen--so they have marvelled, They have been troubled, they were hastened away.

6Trembling hath seized them there, Pain, as of a travailing woman.
6 Trembling took hold upon them there; anguish, as of a woman in travail.
6Shaking came on them and pain, as on a woman in childbirth.

9We have thought, O God, of Thy kindness, In the midst of Thy temple,

12Compass Zion, and go round her, count her towers,
12 Walk about Zion, and go round about her: count the towers thereof;
12Make your way about Zion, and go round it, numbering its towers.
13Set your heart to her bulwark, Consider her high places, So that ye recount to a later generation,
13 Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces: that ye may tell it to the generation following.
13Take note of its strong walls, looking well at its fair buildings; so that you may give word of it to the generation which comes after.
