Psalms 60:1
You have rejected us, O God; You have broken us; You have been angry; restore us!
2 You have shaken the land and torn it open. Heal its fractures, for it is quaking.
3 You have shown Your people hardship; we are staggered from the wine You made us drink.
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.
