Psalms 80:11 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 80:11

She sent out her boughs unto the sea
The Mediterranean, or midland sea, which was the border of the land of Canaan to the west:

and her branches unto the river;
the river Euphrates, which was its border to the east; see ( Deuteronomy 11:24 ) . This, in the spiritual sense of it, will have its accomplishment in the church of Christ, when he shall have dominion from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth, ( Psalms 72:8 ) . The Targum is,

``she sent out her disciples to the great sea, and to the river Euphrates her babes;''

or sucklings.

Psalms 80:11 In-Context

9 You cleared the ground for it; then it planted its roots deep, filling the land.

10 The mountains were covered by its shade; the mighty cedars were covered by its branches.

11 It sent its branches all the way to the sea; its shoots went all the way to the Euphrates River.

12 So why have you now torn down its walls so that all who come along can pluck its fruit,

13 so that any boar from the forest can tear it up, so that the bugs can feed on it?
