Psalm 80:8-19 NIV

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 80:17

Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand ,.... Which some understand of the people of Israel in general, beloved, supported, and strengthened, by the Lord: and others of the then king of Israel, or Judah, the vinedresser, or keeper of the vineyard under God; praying that he might be directed, supported, and protected, by the Lord; but it seems better to understand it with R. Obadiah on the place, and Abarbinel F24 Mashmiah Jeshuah, fol. 81. 2. of the Messiah; and so Aben Ezra... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 80:18

So will not we go back from thee ,.... From thy fear, as the Targum; or from thy service, as Kimchi; doing as above would encourage them to stand before the Lord, and worship him; which they could not do, if he marked their sins, and demanded satisfaction from them for them; but if he looked to his Son and their surety, and took it from him, this would encourage their faith and hope, and give them boldness in his presence, and attach them to his service: quicken us, and we will call upon... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 80:19

Turn us again, O Lord God of hosts ,.... This is a repetition of Psalm 80:3 , in which may be observed an increase of the names or titles of the Divine Being: in Psalm 80:3 , it is only "O God"; in Psalm 80:7 "O God of hosts"; and here, "Lord God of hosts"; some have thought that the doctrine of the Trinity is here suggested; which is a better thought than that of Jarchi's, who supposes that three captivities of Israel are pointed at: but as it follows, cause thy face to shine, and... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 80:8

Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt - This is a most elegant metaphor, and every where well supported. The same similitude is used by Isaiah, Isaiah 5:1 , etc.; by Jeremiah, Jeremiah 2:21 ; by Ezekiel, Ezekiel 17:5 , Ezekiel 17:6 ; by Hosea, Hosea 10:1 ; by Joel, Joel 1:7 ; by Moses, Deuteronomy 32:32 , Deuteronomy 32:33 ; and often by our Lord himself, Matthew 20:1 , etc.; Matthew 21:33 , etc.; Mark 12:1 , etc. And this was the ordinary figure to represent the Jewish... read more

She sent out her boughs unto the sea and her branches unto the river - The Israelitish empire extended from the River Euphrates on the east to the Mediterranean Sea on the west, and from the same Euphrates on the north of the promised land to its farthest extent on the south; Syria bounding the north, and Arabia and Egypt the south. And this was according to the promises which God had made to the fathers, Exodus 23:31 ; Deuteronomy 11:24 . read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 80:13

The boar out of the wood - Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, who was a fierce and cruel sovereign. The allusion is plain. The wild hops and buffaloes make sad havoc in the fields of the Hindoos, and in their orchards: to keep them out, men are placed at night on covered stages in the fields. read more

Return - O God of hosts - Thou hast abandoned us, and therefore our enemies have us in captivity. Come back to us, and we shall again be restored. Behold, and visit this vine - Consider the state of thy own people, thy own worship, thy own temple. Look down! Let thine eye affect thy heart. read more
