James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 80:1-19

The first psalm in this lesson suggests Psalms 74:0 on which we did not dwell, but both of which depict the desolations of Judah by the Babylonians (compare Jeremiah 52:12-14 ). On this supposition their date would be that of the captivity, and their author a later Asaph than the Asaph mentioned in David’s time. Psalms 80:0 Has captivity features also. Some would say it relates to the ten tribes, as the preceding psalm does to Judah. The next several psalms are much alike in this respect and... read more

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

Enemies. The faithless Israelites, (Calmet) or infidel nations. (Bossuet, &c.) --- Ever. Impenitent sinners shall suffer for ever. (Challoner) --- The Jews will scarcely be converted at last. (Menochius) --- For a long time God bore with their infidelities, and heaped favours upon them. (Haydock) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 80:8-16

8-16 The church is represented as a vine and a vineyard. The root of this vine is Christ, the branches are believers. The church is like a vine, needing support, but spreading and fruitful. If a vine do not bring forth fruit, no tree is so worthless. And are not we planted as in a well-cultivated garden, with every means of being fruitful in works of righteousness? But the useless leaves of profession, and the empty boughs of notions and forms, abound far more than real piety. It was wasted and... read more

Prayer for the Deliverance of the Church.

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

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
