诗篇 80:8-11 CUNPSS

God's redemption. "It is not a bringing back out of exile that is here prayed for, for the people are still on the soil of their own country; but in their present Feebleness they are no longer like themselves, but stand in need of Divine intervention, the shining forth of the hidden countenance of God, in order again to attain a condition that is in harmony with the promises." Suggests— I. GOD HAS MADE A GLORIOUS REDEMPTION POSSIBLE FOR US . ( Psalms 80:8 .) Has... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 80:3-18

A cry of weakness, a prayer of faith, "Turn us … we shall be turned." The life of the individual, of the Church, of the nation, depends not on means, methods, forms, institutions. With God is the fountain of life. These words are a cry of weakness, helplessness, humiliation; but also a prayer of faith, hope, joyful expectancy. I. A CONFESSION OF WEAKNESS , DANGER , SIN . 1 . In ordinary affairs a sense of weakness, helplessness, despondency, is the forerunner of failure,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 80:8

Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt . The history of Israel as a nation begins with the Exodus. The nation was transplanted from Egypt into a soil better fitted for it by the loving hand of God, in order that it might have ample room to grow up and develop itself freely. God "brought it out of Egypt," not merely in the exercise of his ordinary providence over humanity, but by an active exertion of his Almighty power, and a long series of miraculous manifestations, without which the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 80:8

The vine-figure of God's people. A favourite figure with the prophets. The metaphor is applied to Israel in Isaiah 5:1-7 ; Jeremiah 2:21 ; Ezekiel 15:6 ; Ezekiel 17:6-8 . There was a golden vine representing the nation, sculptured on the gate of the temple. The association of the vine with Egypt has been disputed; but the mural paintings at Thebes, at Beni-Hassan, and in the pyramids contain representations of vineyards. Boys are seen frightening away the birds from the ripe... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 80:8-15

The vine of God. These verses may be taken— I. AS A SYMBOLIC HISTORY OF ISRAEL . 1 . For God ' s people were as a vine. Designed for fruit; carefully tended; highly esteemed; thoroughly cleansed; diligently guarded. 2 . Israel had been brought out of Egypt. 3 . The nations of Canaan were driven out. 4 . Israel became a settled nation. 5 . Strong. 6 . Populous. "Filled the land;" coveting the hills and the plains. 7 . Dominion... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 80:8-19

The poet, to excite God's compassion, proceeds to depict Israel as it was and as it is. He adopts the figure of a vine, perhaps suggested to him by the description of Joseph in the dying speech of Jacob ( Genesis 49:22 ), and carries out his metaphor, in nine consecutive verses, with great beauty and consistency. Isaiah's description of Israel as a vineyard ( Isaiah 5:1-7 ) is somewhat similar. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 80:9

Thou preparest room before it. The "room" was made by the removal of the heathen inhabitants, who were first greatly weakened by Rameses III ; and then driven out by Joshua. And didst cause it to take deep root; rather, and it took deep root, as in the Revised Version. And it filled the land (comp. Deuteronomy 11:24 ; Joshua 1:3 ). Possession was taken of the whole land, not at once ( 1:27-36 ), but slowly and surely; the furthest limits being reached in David's time ( 1 Kings... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 80:10

The hills were covered with the shadow of it. The "hills" intended are probably those of the south—the hill country of Judah—since the clauses which follow designate the boundaries towards the north, west, and east. (So Hengstenberg, Kay, Professor Cheyne, and others.) And the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars ; rather, and the goodly cedar trees were covered with their branches. The cedars of Lebanon are intended. They marked the boundary line on the north. The psalmist calls... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 80:11

She sent out her boughs unto the sea . The Mediterranean; the western boundary of the land. And her branches (or, her shoots, Revised Version) unto the river. The Euphrates (see Genesis 15:18 ; I Kings Genesis 4:21 , Genesis 4:24 ). read more
