Context of Psalms 80:13
11Israel sent out its branches to the [Mediterranean] Sea, And its branches to the [Euphrates] River. 12Why have You broken down its walls and hedges, So that all who pass by pick its fruit? A boar from the woods eats it away, And the insects of the field feed on it. 14Turn again [in favor to us], O God of hosts; Look down from heaven and see, and take care of this vine, 15Even the stock which Your right hand has planted, And [look down on] the son that You have reared and strengthened for Yourself.
