Psa 60:1

You have rejected us, O God, and broken our defenses.
You have been angry with us; now restore us to your favor.

Psa 60:2You have shaken our land and split it open.
Seal the cracks, for the land trembles.

making us drink wine that sent us reeling.

Psa 60:4

Psa 60:4But you have raised a banner for those who fear you—
a rallying point in the face of attack.
