⁷ Restore us, God Almighty;
    make your face shine on us,
    that we may be saved.^(A)

⁸ You transplanted a vine^(B) from Egypt;
    you drove out^(C) the nations and planted^(D) it.
⁹ You cleared the ground for it,
    and it took root and filled the land.
¹⁰ The mountains were covered with its shade,
    the mighty cedars with its branches.
¹¹ Its branches reached as far as the Sea,^[a]
    its shoots as far as the River.^[b](E)

¹² Why have you broken down its walls^(F)
    so that all who pass by pick its grapes?
¹³ Boars from the forest ravage^(G) it,
    and insects from the fields feed on it.
¹⁴ Return to us, God Almighty!
    Look down from heaven and see!^(H)
Watch over this vine,
