Psalm 80:8-10

Easy-to-Read Version

⁸ When you brought us out of Egypt,
    we were like your special vine.
You forced other nations to leave this land,
    and you planted that vine here.
⁹ You prepared the ground for it,
    and it sent its roots down deep and spread throughout the land.
¹⁰ It covered the mountains,
    and its leaves shaded even the giant cedar trees.
