7Turn us again, O God of hosts; And cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
8Thou broughtest a vine out of Egypt: Thou didst drive out the nations, and plantedst it.
9Thou preparedst [room] before it, And it took deep root, and filled the land.
10The mountains were covered with the shadow of it, And the boughs thereof were [like] cedars of God.
11It sent out its branches unto the sea, And its shoots unto the River.
12Why hast thou broken down its walls, So that all they that pass by the way do pluck it?
13The boar out of the wood doth ravage it, And the wild beasts of the field feed on it.

Barnes' Notes
Albert Barnes (1798–1870) · Notes on the Whole Bible · 19th-century historical commentary
“The hills were covered with the shadow of it - That is, It made a shade, by its luxuriant foliage, on the hills in every part of the land; it seemed to cover all the hills. And the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars - Margin, as in Hebrew, cedars of God; that is, lofty, majestic cedars. See the notes at Psalms 65:9. The reference here is to the cedars of Lebanon, among the most majestic objects known to the Hebrews. return to 'Top of Page'”
