Psalm 80:8-19

New International Version

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

¹²Why have you broken down its walls^(E)
    so that all who pass by pick its grapes?
¹³Boars from the forest ravage^(F) it,
    and insects from the fields feed on it.
¹⁴Return to us, God Almighty!
    Look down from heaven and see!^(G)
Watch over this vine,
¹⁵    the root your right hand has planted,
    the son^[c] you have raised up for yourself.

¹⁶Your vine is cut down, it is burned with fire;^(H)
    at your rebuke^(I) your people perish.
¹⁷Let your hand rest on the man at your right hand,
    the son of man^(J) you have raised up for yourself.
¹⁸Then we will not turn away from you;
    revive^(K) us, and we will call on your name.
