Psalms 80:11
9 You cleared the ground for it, and it took root and filled the land.
10 The mountains were covered by its shade, and the mighty cedars with its branches.
It sent out its branches to the Sea, and its shoots toward the River.
12 Why have You broken down its walls, so that all who pass by pick its fruit?
13 The boar from the forest ravages it, and the creatures of the field feed upon it.
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.
