Context of Psalms 60:5
3You have given your people a time of difficult trouble. You have given us strong wine to drink, that has made us fall like drunk people. 4But you have lifted up a flag for the people who serve you. They can meet together there, to be safe in the battle. Selah. Use your power to rescue us! Answer our prayers! Then the people that you love will be safe. 6God has spoken from his holy place! He has promised: ‘I will show my power! I will make Shechem into separate pieces. I will measure Succoth Valley. 7Gilead belongs to me, and so does Manasseh. Ephraim is like my helmet for war. Judah has the authority of my royal sceptre.
