8 You removed a avine from Egypt;

You bdrove out the 1nations and cplanted it.

9 You acleared the ground before it,

And it btook deep root and filled the land.

10 The mountains were covered with its shadow,

And 1the cedars of God with its aboughs.

11 It was sending out its branches ato the sea

And its shoots to the River.

12 Why have You abroken down its 1hedges,

So that all who pass that way pick its fruit?

13 A boar from the forest aeats it away

And whatever moves in the field feeds on it.

14 O God of hosts, aturn again now, we beseech You;

bLook down from heaven and see, and take care of this vine,

15 Even the 1ashoot which Your right hand has planted,

And on the 2son whom You have 3strengthened for Yourself.

16 It is aburned with fire, it is cut down;

They perish at the brebuke of Your countenance.

17 Let aYour hand be upon the man of Your right hand,

Upon the son of man whom You bmade strong for Yourself.

18 Then we shall not aturn back from You;

bRevive us, and we will call upon Your name.

19 O Lord God of hosts, arestore us;

Cause Your face to shine upon us, 1and we will be saved.
