Psalms 80:8-16

⁸You carried us out of Egypt like a vine. You drove out the heathen nations, and then you planted the vine.

⁹You prepared the ground for the vine. It took root and filled the land.

¹⁰The mountains were covered by its shade; its branches covered the great cedars.

¹¹It sent its branches as far west as the Mediterranean Sea, and its shoots as far east as the Euphrates River.

¹²So why have you broken down the walls that protect it so that everyone who passes by can steal its fruit?

¹³Wild pigs from the forest eat it, wild animals feed on it.

¹⁴God Almighty, please return to us! Look down from heaven and see what's happening to us! Come and care for this vine

¹⁵that you planted yourself, this son that you brought up yourself.

¹⁶We, your vine, have been chopped down and burned. May those who did this die when you glare at them.
