Psalm 80
1. The psalmist in his prayer complains of the miseries of the church
8. God's former favors are turned into judgments
14. He prays for deliverance














the root
The term "root" in this context is deeply symbolic, often representing the foundational source or origin of life and growth. In Hebrew, the word for root is "שֹׁרֶשׁ" (shoresh), which conveys the idea of something deeply embedded and essential. Biblically, roots are often associated with stability and nourishment. In Isaiah 11:1, the "root of Jesse" is a messianic prophecy pointing to Jesus Christ, indicating that the root is not just a source of physical sustenance but also spiritual salvation. This imagery suggests that God has established a firm foundation for His people, one that is intended to flourish and bear fruit.

Your right hand
The "right hand" in biblical literature is a symbol of power, authority, and favor. In Hebrew, "יָמִין" (yamin) is often used to denote strength and skill. The right hand of God is frequently mentioned in the Psalms as a source of deliverance and protection (Psalm 118:16). It signifies God's active involvement and intervention in the world. Here, it emphasizes that the root, or the foundation of Israel, is not a result of human effort but is divinely established and sustained by God's mighty power.

has planted
The act of planting is a deliberate and purposeful action. In Hebrew, "נָטַע" (nata) means to plant or establish. This word choice suggests intentionality and care, as a gardener would carefully plant a seed with the expectation of growth and fruitfulness. In the context of Israel, it reflects God's covenant relationship with His people, where He has chosen and established them in the Promised Land. This planting is not random but is part of God's sovereign plan for His people to thrive and fulfill His purposes.

the son
The phrase "the son" can be interpreted in several ways. In Hebrew, "בֵּן" (ben) can mean son, descendant, or member of a group. In the immediate context, it may refer to Israel as God's chosen people, often referred to as His "firstborn son" (Exodus 4:22). From a messianic perspective, it can also be seen as a foreshadowing of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who is the ultimate fulfillment of God's promises to Israel. This dual interpretation highlights both the corporate identity of Israel and the individual messianic hope.

You have raised up
The phrase "raised up" implies elevation, empowerment, and restoration. In Hebrew, "קָנָה" (qanah) can mean to acquire, create, or establish. This suggests that God has not only planted but also nurtured and elevated His people or His chosen one to a position of prominence and purpose. It reflects God's ongoing work in the lives of His people, raising them from obscurity to significance, from bondage to freedom, and from despair to hope.

for Yourself
The phrase "for Yourself" underscores the idea that God's actions are ultimately for His glory and purposes. In Hebrew, "לְךָ" (lekha) indicates possession or purpose. This highlights the covenantal relationship where God has chosen and established His people not merely for their own benefit but to fulfill His divine plan and to manifest His glory to the nations. It reminds believers that their lives are meant to reflect God's character and to serve His greater purposes in the world.

(15) And the vineyard which . . .--Most modern scholars follow the LXX. and Vulg. in making the word rendered vineyard an imperative of a verb, meaning protect: And protect what thy right hand hath planted. This makes a good parallelism.

Verse 15. - And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted; rather, the stock. (So Kay, Cheyne, and the Revised Version.) Some, however, regard כַנָּה as a verb, and translate, "Establish that which thy right hand has planted" (see the LXX., Michaelis, Hupfeld, Canon Cook, and others). And the branch that thou madest strong for thyself; literally, the son, which may mean the offshoot (comp. Genesis 49:22). Is this offshoot Ephraim? or is the entire vine, all Israel, intended?
