“Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.”
The psalm shifts to recounting God's past faithfulness: "You brought a vine out of Egypt; you drove out the nations and planted it." The image of Israel as a divinely planted vine recalls covenantal election and God's decisive action on Israel's behalf. The removal of indigenous nations and the planting of Israel represent paradigmatic divine acts of salvation and covenant establishment.
