Psalms 80:8-17

⁸You took a vine out of Egypt: driving out the nations, and planting it in their land.

⁹You made ready a place for it, so that it might take deep root, and it sent out its branches over all the land.

¹⁰The mountains were covered with its shade, and the great trees with its branches.

¹¹It sent out its arms to the Sea, and its branches to the River.

¹²Why are its walls broken down by your hands, so that all who go by may take its fruit?

¹³It is uprooted by the pigs from the woods, the beasts of the field get their food from it.

¹⁴Come back, O God of armies: from heaven let your eyes be turned to this vine, and give your mind to it,

¹⁵Even to the tree which was planted by your right hand, and to the branch which you made strong for yourself.

¹⁶It is burned with fire; it is cut down: they are made waste by the wrath of your face.

¹⁷Let your hand be on the man of your right hand, on the son of man whom you made strong for yourself.
