Context of Psalms 80:11
9You cleared the ground for us, and we took root and filled the land. 10Our shade covered the mountains; our branches covered the mighty cedars. We spread our branches west to the Mediterranean Sea; our shoots spread east to the Euphrates River. 12But now, why have you broken down our walls so that all who pass by may steal our fruit? 13The wild boar from the forest devours it, and the wild animals feed on it.
