Salmos 60:2

2 Has hecho temblar la tierra, la has hendido; sana sus hendiduras, porque se tambalea.

Salmos 60:2 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 60:2

Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it
As is frequently done by an earthquake; which, whatever natural causes there may be of it, is always to be ascribed to God. The ancient Heathens ^F13 were of opinion that all earthquakes were of God. This respects not the whole earth, but the land of Israel only; and so the Targum,

``thou hast moved the land of Israel, thou hast shaken and rent it;''

and it does not design a natural earthquake in it, but a figurative one; a shaking and rending of their civil and church state; see ( Hebrews 12:26 Hebrews 12:27 ) ;

heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh;
which will be done in the latter day, when they shall return into their own land, and be restored as at the beginning, ( Isaiah 30:30 ) .

1 Oh Dios, tú nos has rechazado, nos has quebrantado, te has airado. Restáuranos, oh Dios.

2 Has hecho temblar la tierra, la has hendido; sana sus hendiduras, porque se tambalea.

3 Cosas duras has hecho ver a tu pueblo; nos has dado a beber vino embriagador.

4 Has dado un estandarte a los que te temen, para que sea alzado por causa de la verdad. (Selah)

5 Para que sean librados tus amados, salva con tu diestra, y respóndeme.
