You have rejected us, O God, and broken our defenses.
    You have been angry with us; now restore us to your favor.
2 You have shaken our land and split it open.
    Seal the cracks, for the land trembles.
3 You have been very hard on us,
    making us drink wine that sent us reeling.
4 But you have raised a banner for those who fear you—
    a rallying point in the face of attack. Interlude Psalm 60:1-4

What has sent you reeling lately? What is its source?
