ships of Tarshish

The Hebrew in Psalm 48:7 that is translated in English as “as when an east wind shatters the ships of Tarshish” (New Revised Standard Version) or “like ships tossing in a furious storm” (Good News Translation) is translated in Afar as “As sheep scatter back and forth from a wild animal.” (No ships in this part of the Afar desert.)
