Psalm 80:8–16

⁸You uprooted a vine from Egypt;

You drove out the nations and transplanted it.

⁹You cleared the ground for it,

and it took root and filled the land.

¹⁰The mountains were covered by its shade,

and the mighty cedars with its branches.

¹¹It sent out its branches to the Sea,^a

and its shoots toward the River.^b

¹²Why have You broken down its walls,

so that all who pass by pick its fruit?

¹³The boar from the forest ravages it,

and the creatures of the field feed upon it.

¹⁴Return, O God of Hosts, we pray!

Look down from heaven and see!

Attend to this vine—

¹⁵the root Your right hand has planted,

the son You have raised up for Yourself.

¹⁶Your vine has been cut down and burned;

they perish at the rebuke of Your countenance.
