Context of Psalms 80:13
11It reached out with its branches to the Mediterranean Sea. Its shoots reached the Euphrates River. 12Why did you break down the stone fences around this vine? All who pass by are picking its fruit. Wild boars from the forest graze on it. Wild animals devour it. 14O God, commander of armies, come back! Look from heaven and see! Come to help this vine. 15Take care of what your right hand planted, the son you strengthened for yourself.
