Context of Psalms 80:13

11It sent out its boughs unto the sea, and its shoots unto the river. 12Why hast thou broken down its fences, so that all who pass by the way do pluck it? The boar out of the forest doth waste it, and the beast of the field doth feed off it. 14O God of hosts, return, we beseech thee; look down from the heavens, and behold, and visit this vine; 15Even the stock which thy right hand hath planted, and the young plant thou madest strong for thyself.
