Psalms 60:3

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.

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

5 Respond and save us with Your right hand, that Your beloved may be delivered.

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.
