Context of Psalms 80:11
9You cleared the ground for it, and it took root and filled the land. 10The mountains were covered with its shade, the mighty cedars with its branches. Its branches reached as far as the Sea, its shoots as far as the River. 12Why have you broken down its walls so that all who pass by pick its grapes? 13Boars from the forest ravage it, and insects from the fields feed on it.
