8. You uprooted a vine from Egypt;you drove out nations and transplanted it.
9. You cleared the ground for it;it took root,and filled the land.
10. The mountains were covered by its shadow,the highest cedars by its branches.
11. Its branches reached the Mediterranean Sea,and its shoots the Euphrates River.
12. Why did you break down its walls,so that all who pass by pluck its fruit?
13. The wild boars of the forest ruin it;the insects of the field feed on it.
14. O God, invincible warrior, come back!Look down from heaven and take notice!Take care of this vine,
15. the root your right hand planted,the shoot you made to grow!
16. It is burned and cut down.They die because you are displeased with them.
17. May you give support to the one you have chosen,to the one whom you raised up for yourself!
18. Then we will not turn away from you.Revive us and we will pray to you!
