Your vine
The term "vine" in this context is a metaphor for the nation of Israel. In the Hebrew Scriptures, Israel is often depicted as a vineyard or vine planted by God (Isaiah 5:1-7, Jeremiah 2:21). The vine symbolizes the chosen people, nurtured and cared for by God. Historically, this imagery reflects Israel's special status and the covenant relationship with God. The vine's health and productivity are contingent upon Israel's faithfulness to God.

has been cut down
This phrase indicates a severe judgment or calamity that has befallen Israel. The Hebrew root for "cut down" suggests a violent or forceful action, implying that the nation has been devastated or brought low. This could refer to historical events such as invasions or exiles, where Israel faced destruction due to their disobedience and turning away from God.

it is burned with fire
Fire in biblical terms often symbolizes judgment and purification. The burning of the vine suggests a consuming judgment from God, possibly reflecting the destruction of Jerusalem or the temple. Fire also purifies, indicating that through this judgment, there is a potential for renewal and restoration if the people return to God.

at Your rebuke
A "rebuke" from God is a divine correction or reprimand. The Hebrew word used here conveys a strong disapproval or chastisement. This highlights God's active role in disciplining His people, not out of wrath alone, but as a means to bring them back to righteousness. It underscores the covenant relationship where God, as a loving Father, corrects His children.

Your people perish
The phrase "Your people" emphasizes the personal relationship between God and Israel. Despite their rebellion, they are still acknowledged as belonging to God. The word "perish" indicates a severe consequence of their actions, often associated with death or destruction. This serves as a sobering reminder of the seriousness of turning away from God and the life-giving covenant He offers.

(16) It is burned.--This verse would certainly be far more intelligible, and also fit better into the rhythm, if it followed immediately after Psalm 80:13. The poet, while complaining that God fumed with anger while Israel prayed, would scarcely speak of themselves as perishing under His rebuke, which, in Psalm 76:6, is used of His attitude towards foes actually contending against Him. But if we read Psalm 80:13; Psalm 80:16 together, we avoid this:--

"The boar out of the wood doth waste it

And the wild beast of the field doth devour it:

It is burned with fire, it is cut down; . . .

Verse 16. - It is burned with fire, it is cut down. The flames of war have begun to consume it - it is no longer a vine, but mere fuel (comp. Isaiah 33:12), ready to be burned. They perish at the rebuke of thy countenance. Here the metaphor is dropped. The climax has been reached, and the matter is too serious for rhetorical treatment. The nation typified by the vine, the Israel of God, is perishing - perishing "at the rebuke of God's countenance" - because his favour is withdrawn from them. Unless God steps in to save, destruction is certain.
