David is speaking of the nation of Israel as if it were the earth that Yahweh had caused to tremble and broken as in an earthquake. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [You have brought disaster on our nation; you have shattered it]

This is an imperative, but it communicates a polite request rather than a command. Use a form in your language that communicates a polite request. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: [Please heal its breaches]

David is speaking of the nation of Israel as if it were land that had been damaged by an earthquake and needed to be healed. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent metaphor from your culture. Alternatively, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Restore it] or [Repair the damage]
