Psalm 80:8-15
International Standard Version
8 You uprooted a vine from Egypt,
and drove out nations to transplant it.
9 You cleared the ground[a] so that its roots grew
and filled the land.
10 Mountains were covered by its shadows,
and the mighty cedars by its branches.
11 Its branches spread out to the Mediterranean[b] Sea
and its shoots to the Euphrates[c] River.
12 Why did you break down its walls
so that those who pass by pluck its fruits?[d]
13 Wild boars of the forest gnaw at it,
and creatures of the field feed on it.
14 God of the Heavenly Armies, return!
Look down from heaven and see.
Show care[e] toward this vine.
15 The root[f] that your right hand planted,
the shoot[g] that you tended for yourself,
