Context of Psalms 80:13

11It sent out its branches unto the sea, And its shoots unto the River. 12Why hast thou broken down its walls, So that all they that pass by the way do pluck it? The boar out of the wood doth ravage it, And the wild beasts of the field feed on it. 14Turn again, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: Look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine, 15And the stock which thy right hand planted, And the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.
