Thou preparedst room before it, And it took deep root, and filled the land.
The mountains were covered with the shadow of it, And the boughs thereof were like cedars of God.

The boar out of the wood doth ravage it, And the wild beasts of the field feed on it.
Turn again, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: Look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine,
And the stock which thy right hand planted, And the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.
