Psalm 80:19

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 80:14-19

This is a beautiful and most interesting prayer: and, after the view which the apostle, hath given of this subject, in his Epistle to the Romans, to which I before referred, may we not consider it as plainly meant for the church of the Gentiles to be daily using at the throne and mercy-seat for their elder branch, the Jews? as if the cry was universal, Lord, help thy church; graft in again thine ancient branches! And, Reader, do not fail to remark, with me, the reference which the Church, hath... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 80:19

REFLECTIONS READER! if the church of old, with reference to Christ, as he who was to come as the Shepherd of Israel, thus prayed him to shine forth, and to show himself from between the cherubim, well may you and I look up to Jesus now, who not only hath come and led his sheep-fold, and gone before them, but, like the good Shepherd, hath laid down his life for his sheep. If the church's deliverance from Egypt is spoken of with such praise, and Jesus, who was then only looked to through type and... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 80:17-19

17-19 The Messiah, the Protector and Saviour of the church, is the Man of God's right hand; he is the Arm of the Lord, for all power is given to him. In him is our strength, by which we are enabled to persevere to the end. The vine, therefore, cannot be ruined, nor can any fruitful branch perish; but the unfruitful will be cut off and cast into the fire. The end of our redemption is, that we should serve Him who hath redeemed us, and not go back to our old sins read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 80:8-19

“Cause Thy Face to Shine” Psalms 80:8-19 The imagery of the vine is taken from Jacob’s dying words, in which he compared Joseph to a fruitful bough which had grown over the wall, Genesis 49:22 . It is therefore a very apt and appropriate figure in this psalm, of which the northern tribes are the special subject. The figure of the vine is wrought out with extreme beauty. The book of Exodus tells of the transplanting, and those of Joshua and Judges of the ground that was cleared to receive it.... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 80:1-19

Again we have a song out of the midst of distress. There is far more light and colour about it than in the previous one. The circumstances do not seem to be any more favourable than those described before. There is this difference however, between the two psalms. The first is mainly occupied with the disastrous conditions; this one begins with a prayer which is a recognition of the past relationship of God to His people. This is therefore a great song of God as Shepherd. The aspects of the... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Psalms 80:10-19

The Story of the Vine Psalms 80:10-19 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. The vine tree is a type of Israel. When Jesus Christ gave the parable of the vine and the branches He said: "I am the True Vine, and * * ye are the branches." We immediately wonder who the vine which was not the True might represent. In the 80th Psalm, this query is definitely answered. We read: "Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt." We know that Israel was brought out of Egypt. Therefore Israel was the vine which was untrue. Let... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 80:1-19

LXXX. Then and Now. The Messianic Hope.— The Ps. depicts Judah’ s forlorn condition, first directly ( Psalms 80:1-Judges :) and then under the figure of a vine ( Psalms 80:8-:). It is divided into strophes by the refrain in Psalms 80:3; Psalms 80:7; Psalms 80:19. (In Psalms 80:3 insert “ of hosts” (LXX) as in Psalms 80:7; Psalms 80:19.) Probably also the refrain has fallen out after Psalms 80:13.Psalms 80:1 c. A rhetorical reminiscence of the time when the Ark ( 1 Samuel 4:4, 2 Samuel 6:2)... read more
