Salmene 80,10
8 Du førte en vintre ut av Egypt;
Du fortrengte nasjonene og plantet den.
9 Du forberedte jorden for den,
Og den slo dype røtter og fylte landet.
Dens skygge dekket fjellene,
Og dens grener nådde de mektige sedertrærne.
11 Den strakte sine grener til havet
Og sine skudd til Eufrat-elven.
12 Hvorfor har du brutt ned dens murer,
Slik at alle som går forbi plukker dens frukt?
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
