  2. 16 Heb “you cleared away before it.”
  3. 17 Heb “and it took root [with] its roots.”
  4. 18 Heb “cedars of God.” The divine name אֵל (’al, “God”) is here used in an idiomatic manner to indicate the superlative.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

You brought a vine out of Egypt;

you drove out the nations and planted it.

You cleared the ground for it;

it took deep root and filled the land.

The mountains were covered with its shade,

the mighty cedars with its branches.

It sent out its branches to the sea

and its shoots to the River.

Its branches reached as far as the Sea,

its shoots as far as the River.

NLTNew Living Translation

You brought us from Egypt like a grapevine;

you drove away the pagan nations and transplanted us into your land.

You cleared the ground for us,

and we took root and filled the land.

Our shade covered the mountains;

our branches covered the mighty cedars.

We spread our branches west to the Mediterranean Sea;

our shoots spread east to the Euphrates River.

You uprooted a vine from Egypt;

you drove out the nations and planted it.

You prepared a place before it,

and it took deep root and filled the land.

The mountains were covered with its shade,

and the mighty cedars with its boughs.

It spread its branches to the sea

and its shoots to the river.

KJV 1900King James Version

Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt:

Thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.

Thou preparedst room before it,

And didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.

The hills were covered with the shadow of it,

And the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.

She sent out her boughs unto the sea,

And her branches unto the river.
