Psalms 80:8-16 ▼

8 You dug up a vine from Egypt; you drove out the nations and planted it.

9 You cleared a place for it; it took root and filled the land.

10 The mountains were covered by its shade, and the mighty cedars with its branches.

11 It sent out sprouts toward the Sea and shoots toward the River.

12 Why have you broken down its walls so that all who pass by pick its fruit?

13 Boars from the forest tear at it and creatures of the field feed on it.

14 Return, God of Armies. Look down from heaven and see; take care of this vine,

15 the root your right hand planted, the son that you made strong for yourself.

16 It was cut down and burned; they perish at the rebuke of your countenance.
