Psalm 60:5-7
New Catholic Bible
5 You have inflicted hardships on your people;
you have given us wine that made us stagger.[a]
6 But for those who fear you,
you have raised up a banner
to unfurl against the bow.[b] Selah
7 [c]With your right hand come to our aid and answer us
so that those you love may be delivered.

- Psalm 60:6 Bow: symbol of the enemy, which relied on its bows.
- Psalm 60:7 These verses occur again as verses 7-14 of Ps 108.
