Scripture focus

4. For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together. 5. They saw [it, and] so they marvelled; they were troubled, [and] hasted away. 6. Fear took hold upon them there, [and] pain, as of a woman in travail.

Commentary on Psalms 48:4

Theological / Devotional

Were assembled. Verses 4–6 present a graphic description of the advance and sudden destruction of an enemy army. The language is highly compressed. The paucity of connectives in vs. 4 and 5 increases the force of the description (see on Ps. 46:6).
