Context of Psalms 80:10
8You pulled us out from Egypt, like a vine that you dug out of the ground. You chased nations out of this land, and you planted us here. 9You prepared the ground ready for us. We put down roots like a vine. We grew well and we covered all the land.

Now, anyone who passes can rob our fruit.
