Psalms 80:8-13 in English

⁸ Thou broughtest a vine out of Egypt: Thou didst drive out the nations, and plantedst it.

⁹ Thou preparedst room before it, And it took deep root, and filled the land.

¹⁰ The mountains were covered with the shadow of it, And the boughs thereof were like cedars of God.

¹¹ It sent out its branches unto the sea, And its shoots unto the River.

¹² Why hast thou broken down its walls, So that all they that pass by the way do pluck it?

¹³ The boar out of the wood doth ravage it, And the wild beasts of the field feed on it.

⁸ Thou didst call upon me in trouble, and I delivered thee; I heard thee in the secret place of the storm: I proved thee at the water of Strife. Pause.

⁹ Hear, my people, and I will speak to thee, O Israel; and I will testify to thee: if thou wilt hearken to me;

¹⁰ there shall be no new god in thee; neither shalt thou worship a strange god.

¹¹ For I am the Lord thy God, that brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

¹² But my people hearkened not to my voice; and Israel gave no heed to me.

¹³ So I let them go after the ways of their own hearts: they will go on in their own ways.

⁸ Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.

⁹ Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.

¹⁰ The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.

¹¹ She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.

¹² Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?

¹³ The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it.

⁹ there shall be no new god in you; neither shall you worship a strange god.

¹⁰ For I am the Lord your God, that brought you out of the land of Egypt: open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.

¹¹ But my people listened not to my voice; and Israel gave no heed to me.

¹² So I let them go after the ways of their own hearts: they will go on in their own ways.

¹² Why hast thou broken down her fences, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?

¹³ The boar out of the wood doth ravage it, and the wild beasts of the field feed on it.

⁸ Our ancestors were like a grapevine MET that you brought out of Egypt; you expelled the other people-groups from this land, and you put your people in their land.

⁹ Like people clear ground to plant a grapevine MET, you cleared out the people who were living in this land for us to live in it. Like the roots of a grapevine go deep down into the ground and spread MET, you enabled our ancestors to prosper and start living in towns all over this land.

¹⁰ Like huge grapevines cover the hills with their shade and their branches are taller than big cedar trees MET, HYP,

¹¹ your people ruled all of Canaan, from the Mediterranean Sea in the west to the Euphrates River in the east.

¹² So why have you abandoned us and allowed our enemies to tear down our walls RHQ? You are like someone who tears down the fences around his vineyard, with the result that all the people who pass by can steal the grapes,

¹³ and wild pigs can trample the vines, and wild animals can also eat the grapes.

⁸ Hear, my people, and I will speak to you, O Israel; and I will testify to you: if you will listen to me;

⁹ there shall be no new god in you; neither shall you worship a strange god.

¹⁰ For I am the Lord your God, that brought you out of the land of Egypt: open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.

¹¹ But my people listened not to my voice; and Israel gave no heed to me.

¹² So I let them go after the ways of their own hearts: they will go on in their own ways.

¹³ If my people had listened to me, if Israel had walked in my ways,

⁸ You brought a vine out of Egypt. You drove out the nations, and planted it.

⁹ You cleared the ground for it. It took deep root, and filled the land.

¹⁰ The mountains were covered with its shadow. Its boughs were like God’s cedars.

¹¹ It sent out its branches to the sea, its shoots to the River.

¹² Why have you broken down its walls, so that all those who pass by the way pluck it?

¹³ The boar out of the wood ravages it. The wild animals of the field feed on it.

¹¹ It sent out its boughs unto the sea, and its shoots unto the river.

¹² Why hast thou broken down its fences, so that all who pass by the way do pluck it?

¹³ The boar out of the forest doth waste it, and the beast of the field doth feed off it.

⁸ Thou calledst upon me in affliction, and I delivered thee: I heard thee in the secret place of tempest: I proved thee at the waters of contradiction.

⁹ Hear, O my people, and I will testify to thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken to me,

¹⁰ There shall be no new god in thee: neither shalt thou adore a strange god.

¹¹ For I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

⁸ Thou didst call upon me in trouble, and I delivered thee; I heard thee in the secret place of the storm: I proved thee at the water of Strife. Pause.

⁹ Hear, my people, and I will speak to thee, O Israel; And I will testify to thee: if thou wilt hearken to me;
