Other Translations of Psalm 80:8-15

New International Version

⁸ You transplanted a vine from Egypt; you drove out the nations and planted it. ⁹ You cleared the ground for it, and it took root and filled the land. ¹⁰ The mountains were covered with its shade, the mighty cedars with its branches. ¹¹ Its branches reached as far as the Sea,Probably the Mediterraneanits shoots as far as the River.That is, the Euphrates ¹² Why have you broken down its walls so that all who pass by pick its grapes? ¹³ Boars from the forest ravage it, and insects from the fields feed on it. ¹⁴ Return to us, God Almighty! Look down from heaven and see! Watch over this vine, ¹⁵ the root your right hand has planted, the sonOr "branch" you have raised up for yourself.

English Standard Version

⁸ You brought a vine out of Egypt; you drove out the nations and planted it. ⁹ You cleared the ground for it; it took deep root and filled the land. ¹⁰ The mountains were covered with its shade, the mighty cedars with its branches. ¹¹ It sent out its branches to the sea and its shoots to the River.That is, the Euphrates ¹² Why then have you broken down its walls, so that all who pass along the way pluck its fruit? ¹³ The boar from the forest ravages it, and all that move in the field feed on it. ¹⁴ Turn again, O God of hosts! Look down from heaven, and see; have regard for this vine, ¹⁵ the stock that your right hand planted, and for the son whom you made strong for yourself.

The Message

⁸ Remember how you brought a young vine from Egypt, cleared out the brambles and briers and planted your very own vineyard? ⁹ You prepared the good earth, you planted her roots deep; the vineyard filled the land. ¹⁰ Your vine soared high and shaded the mountains, even dwarfing the giant cedars. ¹¹ Your vine ranged west to the Sea, east to the River. ¹² So why do you no longer protect your vine? Trespassers pick its grapes at will; ¹³ Wild pigs crash through and crush it, and the mice nibble away at what's left. ¹⁴ God of the angel armies, turn our way! Take a good look at what's happened and attend to this vine. ¹⁵ Care for what you once tenderly planted - the vine you raised from a shoot.

New King James Version

⁸ You have brought a vine out of Egypt; You have cast out the nations, and planted it. ⁹ You prepared room for it, And caused it to take deep root, And it filled the land. ¹⁰ The hills were covered with its shadow, And the mighty cedars with its boughs. ¹¹ She sent out her boughs to the Sea, And her branches to the River. ¹² Why have You broken down her hedges, So that all who pass by the way pluck her fruit? ¹³ The boar out of the woods uproots it, And the wild beast of the field devours it. ¹⁴ Return, we beseech You, O God of hosts; Look down from heaven and see, And visit this vine ¹⁵ And the vineyard which Your right hand has planted, And the branch that You made strong for Yourself.

New Living Translation

⁸ You brought us from Egypt like a grapevine; you drove away the pagan nations and transplanted us into your land. ⁹ You cleared the ground for us, and we took root and filled the land. ¹⁰ Our shade covered the mountains; our branches covered the mighty cedars. ¹¹ We spread our branches west to the Mediterranean Sea; our shoots spread east to the Euphrates River. ¹² But now, why have you broken down our walls so that all who pass by may steal our fruit? ¹³ The wild boar from the forest devours it, and the wild animals feed on it. ¹⁴ Come back, we beg you, O God of Heaven's Armies. Look down from heaven and see our plight. Take care of this grapevine ¹⁵ that you yourself have planted, this son you have raised for yourself.
