You (A)cleared the ground before it,
And it (B)took deep root and filled the land.
10 The mountains were covered with its shadow,
And [a]the cedars of God with its (C)boughs.
11 It was sending out its branches (D)to the sea
And its shoots to the River.
12 Why have You (E)broken down its [b]hedges,
So that all who pass that way pick its fruit?
13 A boar from the forest (F)eats it away
And whatever moves in the field feeds on it.

14 O God of hosts, (G)turn again now, we beseech You;
(H)Look down from heaven and see, and take care of this vine,
15 Even the [c](I)shoot which Your right hand has planted,
And on the [d]son whom You have [e]strengthened for Yourself.
16 It is (J)burned with fire, it is cut down;
They perish at the (K)rebuke of Your countenance.
17 Let (L)Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand,
Upon the son of man whom You (M)made strong for Yourself.
18 Then we shall not (N)turn back from You;
(O)Revive us, and we will call upon Your name.
19 O Lord God of hosts, (P)restore us;
Cause Your face to shine upon us, [f]and we will be saved.
