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 prepared the ground for it. It took root and spread out over the whole land.

10 The mountains were covered with its shade. The shade of its branches covered the mighty cedar trees.

11 Your vine sent its branches out all the way to the Mediterranean Sea. They reached as far as the Euphrates River.

12 Why have you broken down the walls around your vine? Now all who pass by it can pick its grapes.

13 Wild pigs from the forest destroy it. The creatures of the field feed on it.
