Psalms 60:3

“Thou hast showed thy people hard things, etc.] As to have their city and temple burial, multitudes of them slain, and the rest carried captive, and put into the hands of cruel lords and hard masters, and made a proverb, a taunt, and a curse, in all places; and all this done to a people that were the Lord’s by profession, who called themselves so, though now a “loammi”, (<280109>Hosea 1:9); and these were hard things to flesh and blood, yet no other than what they deserved; thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment; or “of trembling” f809, (<235117>Isaiah 51:17); that is, to endure such troubles as made them tremble, and astonished and stupefied them; took away their senses, and…”

“drink . . . wine of astonishment--literally, "of staggering"--that is, made us weak (compare Psa 75:8; Isa 51:17, Isa 51:22).”

This refers, according to the supposition in the Introduction to the psalm, to some calamitous events which had occurred.

Thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment - The word rendered “astonishment” - תרעלה tar‛êlâh - occurs only here and in Isaiah 51:17, Isaiah 51:22 - in both of which verses in Isaiah it is rendered trembling. It means properly reeling, drunkenness; and the idea here is, that it was as if he had given them a cup - that is, an intoxicating drink - which had caused…”

“To drink - Thou hast filled us with no less honor, than men intoxicated with strong drink. Psalms 60:4”

“60:3 wine (Hebrew yayin) that sent us reeling: Yayin, the generic Hebrew term meaning “wine,” is often associated with drunkenness (2 Sam 13:28; Isa 5:11; 28:7-8; cp. Ps 104:15; Deut 14:26; Isa 55:1); it symbolized God’s judgment of the wicked (Ps 75:8; Jer 51:7).”

“showed: Psa 71:20; Neh 9:32; Dan 9:12 to drink: Psa 75:8; Isa 51:17, Isa 51:22; Jer 25:15; Lam 4:21; Eze 23:31, Eze 23:32; Hab 2:16; Rev 16:19, Rev 18:16 Psalms 60:4”
