    In Psalm 80:14, the supplied form is a Piel imperfect, 3rd masculine singular verb in a verse focused on an appeal for God to look down and attend to a vine. The APB renders the verse, "O God of Hosts, return, please; look down from heaven and see, and attend to this vine," but does not visibly isolate this verb's tearing-off action.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Psalm 80:14, the APB presents an appeal to attend to the vine but does not supply an identifiable English rendering for this term.
