Text
Psalm 80:9-14:
You plucked up a vine from Egypt; you expelled nations and planted it. You cleared a place for it, it took deep root and filled the land. The mountains were covered by its shade, mighty cedars by its boughs. Its branches reached the sea, its shoots the river. Why did you break its wall, so that every passerby plucks its fruit, the boar from the forest ravages it, and Ziz of the field feeds on it.
