Context of Psalms 80:9
7Turn us again to yourself, O God of Heaven’s Armies. Make your face shine down upon us. Only then will we be saved. 8You brought us from Egypt like a grapevine; you drove away the pagan nations and transplanted us into your land. You cleared the ground for us, and we took root and filled the land. 10Our shade covered the mountains; our branches covered the mighty cedars. 11We spread our branches west to the Mediterranean Sea; our shoots spread east to the Euphrates River.
