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
“She sent out her boughs unto the sea - To the Mediterranean Sea on the one side. And her branches - Her sucklings. The word is usually applied to little children, and means here the little branches that are nourished by the parent vine. Unto the river - The Euphrates, for so the river usually means in the Scriptures. The Euphrates on the one side, and the Mediterranean Sea on the other, were the natural and proper boundaries of the country as promised to Abraham. See Psalms 72:8; 1 Kings 4:21.
