Psalms 80:12-13

Context

80:12 Why did you break down its walls, 1 

so that all who pass by pluck its fruit? 2 

80:13 The wild boars of the forest ruin it; 3 

the insects 4  of the field feed on it.

1 sn The protective walls of the metaphorical vineyard are in view here (see Isa 5:5).

2 tn Heb “pluck it.”

3 tn The Hebrew verb כִּרְסֵם (kirsem, “to eat away; to ruin”) occurs only here in the OT.

4 tn The precise referent of the Hebrew word translated “insects,” which occurs only here and in Ps 50:11, is uncertain. Aramaic, Arabic, and Akkadian cognates refer to insects, such as locusts or crickets.
