Psalm 80:9-17
New International Version
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](A)
12 Why have you broken down its walls(B)
so that all who pass by pick its grapes?
13 Boars from the forest ravage(C) it,
and insects from the fields feed on it.
14 Return to us, God Almighty!
Look down from heaven and see!(D)
Watch over this vine,
15 the root your right hand has planted,
the son[c] you have raised up for yourself.

Psalm 80:9-17
King James Version
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.
14 Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;
15 And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.
16 It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
17 Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.

Psalm 80:9-17
New King James Version
9 You prepared room for it,
And caused it to take deep root,
And it filled the land.
10 The hills were covered with its shadow,
And the [a]mighty cedars with its (A)boughs.
11 She sent out her boughs to [b]the Sea,
And her branches to [c]the River.
12 Why have You (B)broken down her [d]hedges,
So that all who pass by the way pluck her fruit?
13 The boar out of the woods uproots it,
And the wild beast of the field devours it.
14 Return, we beseech You, O God of hosts;
(C)Look down from heaven and see,
And visit this vine
15 And the vineyard which Your right hand has planted,
And the branch that You made strong (D)for Yourself.
16 It is burned with fire, it is cut down;
(E)They perish at the rebuke of Your countenance.
17 (F)Let Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand,
Upon the son of man whom You made strong for Yourself.

Psalm 80:9-17
English Standard Version
9 You (A)cleared the ground for it;
it took deep root and filled the land.
10 The mountains were covered with its shade,
the mighty cedars with its branches.
11 It sent out its branches to (B)the sea
and its shoots to (C)the River.[a]
12 Why then have you (D)broken down its walls,
so that all who pass along the way pluck its fruit?
13 (E)The boar from the forest ravages it,
and all that move in the field feed on it.
14 Turn again, O God of hosts!
(F)Look down from heaven, and see;
have regard for this vine,
15 the stock that your right hand planted,
and for the son whom you made strong for yourself.
16 They have (G)burned it with fire; they have (H)cut it down;
may they perish at (I)the rebuke of your face!
17 But (J)let your hand be on the man of your right hand,
the son of man whom you have made strong for yourself!
