You made the earth quake;
    you broke it open.
Repair its fractures,
    because it has shifted.
You made your people go through hard times;
    you had us drink wine that makes us stagger.

But you have given a banner to those who fear you,
    so they may display it in honor of truth.[a]

You have shaken the land(A) and torn it open;
    mend its fractures,(B) for it is quaking.
You have shown your people desperate times;(C)
    you have given us wine that makes us stagger.(D)
But for those who fear you, you have raised a banner(E)
    to be unfurled against the bow.[a]
