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.
Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources
8You uprooted a vine from Egypt; You drove out the nations and transplanted it.
9You cleared the ground for it, and it took root and filled the land.
10The mountains were covered by its shade, and the mighty cedars with its branches.
11It sent out its branches to the Sea, and its shoots toward the River.
