8 You transplanted
a vine from Egypt;
you drove out the nations and
planted it.
9 You cleared the ground for it,
and it took root and filled the
land.
10 The mountains were covered with its
shade,
the mighty cedars with its
branches.
11 Its branches reached as far as the
Sea,[a]
its shoots as far as the River.[b]
12 Why have you
broken down its walls
so that all who pass by pick its
grapes?
13 Boars from the forest
ravage it,
and insects from the fields feed on
it.
14 Return to us, God Almighty!
Look down from heaven and see!
Watch over this vine,
15 the root your
right hand has planted,
the son[c] you
have raised up for yourself.
16 Your vine is
cut down, it is burned with fire;
at your rebuke your people
perish.
17 Let your hand rest on the man at your
right hand,
the son of man you have raised up for
yourself.
18 Then we will not turn away from
you;
revive us, and we will call on your
name.
19 Restore
us, Lord God
Almighty;
make your face shine on us,
that we may be saved.
