Psalms 80:8
6 You make us contend with our neighbors; our enemies mock us.
7 Restore us, O God of Hosts, and cause Your face to shine upon us, that we may be saved.
You uprooted a vine from Egypt; You drove out the nations and transplanted it.
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.
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.
