Psalms 60:4

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.

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.

6 God has spoken from His sanctuary: “I will triumph! I will parcel out Shechem and apportion the Valley of Succoth.
