Howl, ye ships of Tarshish: for your strength is laid waste.
Howl, you ships of Tarshish, for your stronghold [of Tyre] is laid waste [your strength has been destroyed].
Howl, ye ships of Tarshish; for your stronghold is laid waste.
Wail, ships of Tarshish, for your fortress is destroyed!
Wail, you ships of the sea! For your strength has been devastated.
Howl, O ye ships of the sea, for your strength is laid waste.
