Psalms 60:2

Thou hast made&c. R.V. Thou hast made the land to tremble; thou hast rent it. The disaster is compared to an earthquake, which is often used as a symbol of great catastrophes and especially of divine judgement (Psalms 18:7; Psalms 46:3; Psalms 46:6; Isaiah 24:18 ff). -The breaches" may be the rents and rifts in the solid ground, or by a very natural transition, the state is further compared to the buildings shattered by the earthquake and threatening to fall (Psalms 42:3; Isaiah 30:13; and for heal= repair, see Jeremiah 19:11).
