American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
Thou preparedst room before it,And it took deep root, and filled the land.
The mountains were covered with the shadow of it,And {Or, the cedars of God with the boughs thereof}the boughs thereof were like {Or, goodly cedars}cedars of God.
It sent out its branches unto the sea,And its shoots unto the River.
Why hast thou broken down its walls,So that all they that pass by the way do pluck it?
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 {Or, protect (or, maintain) that which &c.}the stock which thy right hand planted,And the {Hebrew: son.}branch that thou madest strong for thyself.
It is burned with fire, it is cut down:They perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand,Upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.
