Psalm 80:8-17
1599 Geneva Bible
8 Thou hast brought a [a]vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.
9 Thou madest room for it, and didst cause it to take root, and it filled the land.
10 The mountains were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the [b]goodly cedars.
11 She stretched out her branches unto the Sea, and her boughs unto the [c]river.
12 Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they, which pass by the way, have plucked her?
13 The wild [d]boar out of the wood hath destroyed it, and the wild beasts of the field have eaten it up.
14 Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down [e]from heaven and behold, and visit this vine,
15 And the vineyard, that thy right hand hath planted, and the young vine, which thou madest [f]strong for thyself.
16 It is burnt with fire, and cut down: and they perish at the [g]rebuke of thy countenance.
17 Let thine hand be upon the [h]man of thy right hand, and upon the son of man, whom thou madest strong for thine own self.
