8 You brought a grapevine out of Egypt;you drove out other nations and planted it in their land.
9 You cleared a place for it to grow;its roots went deep, and it spread out over the whole land.
10 It covered the hills with its shade;its branches overshadowed the giant cedars.
11 It extended its branches to the Mediterranean Seaand as far as the River Euphrates.
12 Why did you break down the fences round it?Now anyone passing by can steal its grapes;
13 wild pigs trample it down,and wild animals feed on it.
14 Turn to us, Almighty God!Look down from heaven at us;come and save your people!
