Psalms 60:2

1 You have rejected us, O God; You have broken us; You have been angry; restore us!

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.

4 You have raised a banner for those who fear You, that they may flee the bow. Selah
