Psalms 60:3 - Exposition

Thou hast showed thy people hard things; literally, a hard thing, or harshness ; i . e . severity. Thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment; or, of trembling (as in Isaiah 51:17 , Isaiah 51:22 ); comp. Psalms 75:8 ; Jeremiah 25:15-17 : Jeremiah 49:12 ; Ezekiel 23:32-34 ; Zechariah 12:2 . The outpouring of Divine vengeance is represented under the figure of presenting a cup, which the doomed man is forced to drink.
