12Why have You broken down its walls, so that all who pass by pick its fruit?
13The boar from the forest ravages it, and the creatures of the field feed upon it.
Focused Passage
Psalms 80:12-13
Restore Us, Shepherd of Israel, and Revive the Vine You Planted
The psalm moves from an opening cry to the Shepherd of Israel, through the repeated restoration refrain, into lament over divine anger and tears, then into the extended vine-from-Egypt memory, a plea for God to return to the ravaged vine, and finally a prayer for the man at God's right hand through whom revival and renewed covenant calling will come.
