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 us. Like a vine, we took root and filled the land.

10 We covered the mountains with our shade. We had limbs like the mighty cedar tree.

11 Our branches reached the Mediterranean Sea, and our shoots went to the Euphrates River.

12 So why did you pull down our walls? Now everyone who passes by steals from us.

13 Like wild pigs they walk over us; like wild animals they feed on us.
