Psalm 80:7-14
Contemporary English Version
7 But if you smile on us,
we will be saved.
8 We were like a grapevine
you brought out of Egypt.
You chased other nations away
and planted us here.
9 Then you cleared the ground,
and we put our roots deep,
spreading over the land.
10 Shade from this vine covered
the mountains.
Its branches
climbed
the mighty cedars
11 and stretched to the sea;
its new growth reached
to the river.[a]
12 Our Lord, why have you
torn down the wall
from around the vineyard?
You let everyone who walks by
pick the grapes.
13 Now the vine is gobbled down
by pigs from the forest
and other wild animals.
14 God All-Powerful,
please do something!
Look down from heaven
and see what’s happening
to this vine.
