Psalm 80:8-10

Contemporary English Version

⁸ We were like a grapevine
    you brought out of Egypt.
You chased other nations away
    and planted us here.
⁹ Then you cleared the ground,
and we put our roots deep,
    spreading over the land.
¹⁰ Shade from this vine covered
    the mountains.
Its branches climbed
the mighty cedars
