Psalm 80:8-16

^{Tools
8}

You uprooted a vine from Egypt;
You drove out the nations and planted it.^(A)

^{Tools
9}

You cleared a place for it;
it took root and filled the land.^(B)

^{Tools
10}

The mountains were covered by its shade,
and the mighty cedars^(a) with its branches.^(C)

^{Tools
11}

It sent out sprouts toward the Sea^(b)
and shoots toward the River.^(c)^(D)

^{Tools
12}

Why have You broken down its walls
so that all who pass by pick its fruit?^(E)

^{Tools
13}

The boar from the forest tears it
and creatures of the field feed on it.^(F)

^{Tools
14}

Return, God of Hosts.^(G)
Look down from heaven and see;
take care of this vine,

^{Tools
15}

the root^(d) Your right hand has planted,
the shoot^(e) that You made strong for Yourself.^(H)

^{Tools
16}

It was cut down and burned up;^(f)
they^(g) perish at the rebuke of Your countenance.^(I)
