Psalm 80:8-19Common English Bible (CEB)
8 You brought a vine out of Egypt.
You drove out the nations and planted it. 9 You cleared the ground for it; then it planted its roots deep, filling the land. 10 The mountains were covered by its shade; the mighty cedars were covered by its branches. 11 It sent its branches all the way to the sea; its shoots went all the way to the Euphrates River.[a] 12 So why have you now torn down its walls so that all who come along can pluck its fruit, 13 so that any boar from the forest can tear it up, so that the bugs can feed on it?
14 Please come back, God of heavenly forces!
Look down from heaven and perceive it! Attend to this vine, 15 this root that you planted with your strong hand, this son whom you secured as your very own. 16 It is burned with fire. It is chopped down. They die at the rebuke coming from you. 17 Let your hand be with the one on your right side— with the one whom you secured as your own— 18 then we will not turn away from you! Revive us so that we can call on your name. 19 Restore us, Lord God of heavenly forces! Make your face shine so that we can be saved! Footnotes:
