8
You removed a (A)vine from Egypt;
You (B)drove out the (a)nations and (C)planted it.
9
You (D)cleared the ground before it,
And it (E)took deep root and filled the land.
10
The mountains were covered with its shadow,
And (b)the cedars of God with its (F)boughs.
11
It was sending out its branches (G)to the sea
And its shoots to the River.
12
Why have You (H)broken down its (c)hedges,
So that all who pass that way pick its fruit?
13
A boar from the forest (I)eats it away
And whatever moves in the field feeds on it.
14
O God of hosts, (J)turn again now, we beseech You;
(K)Look down from heaven and see, and take care of this vine,
15
Even the (d)(L)shoot which Your right hand has planted,
And on the (e)son whom You have (f)strengthened for Yourself.
16
It is (M)burned with fire, it is cut down;
They perish at the (N)rebuke of Your countenance.
