Why would God raise a "banner"? (Psalm 60:4)

Psalm 60:3-4 (NIV)

3 You have shown your people desperate times;
    you have given us wine that makes us stagger.
4 But for those who fear you, you have raised a banner
    to be unfurled against the bow.

Psalms 60:1 - 12

ESV - ¹ O God, you have rejected us, broken our defenses; you have been angry; oh, restore us. ² You have made the land to quake; you have torn it open; repair its breaches, for it totters.
