Psalms 80:8-16
-
8 Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.
-
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.
