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 a space for it; then it took root firmly and filled the land.

10 The mountains were covered with its shade, the mighty cedars with its branches;

11 It put out branches as far as the sea and shoots to the [Euphrates] River.

12 Why did you break down [the vineyard's] wall, so that all passing by can pluck [its fruit]?

13 The boar from the forest tears it apart; wild creatures from the fields feed on it.
