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 good earth, you planted her roots deep; the vineyard filled the land.

10 Your vine soared high and shaded the mountains, even dwarfing the giant cedars.

11 Your vine ranged west to the Sea, east to the River.

12 So why do you no longer protect your vine? Trespassers pick its grapes at will;

13 Wild pigs crash through and crush it, and the mice nibble away at what's left.
