Contextual Overview

⁸ Thou dydst translate a vine out of Egypt: thou didst cast out the Heathen, and planted it. ⁹ Thou madst roome before it: thou causedst it to take roote, and it hath filled the lande. ¹⁰ The hilles were couered with her shadowe: and goodly high Cedar trees with her bowes. ¹¹ She stretched out her braunches vnto the sea: and her bowes vnto the riuer. ¹² Why hast thou then broken downe her hedge: that all they whiche go by plucke of her grapes? ¹³ The wylde bore out of the wood rooteth it vp: and the wylde beast of the fielde deuoureth it. ¹⁴ Turne thee agayne thou God of hoastes I pray thee: loke downe from heauen, beholde and visite this vine ¹⁵ and vineyarde that thy ryght hande hath planted, and the young braunche which thou hast fortified for thy selfe. ¹⁶ It is brent with fire and cut downe: they shall perishe at the rebuke of thy countenaunce. ¹⁷ Let thy hande be vpon the man of thy right hande: and vpon the sonne of man whom thou hast fortified for thyne owne selfe.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts,.... The Lord had been with his vine, the people of Israel, when he brought them out of Egypt, and planted and settled them in the land of Canaan, and made them a flourishing people; but had departed from them when he suffered the hedges about them to be broken down, and the boar and wild beast to enter and devour them; and here he is entreated to return and restore them to their former prosperity. So the Lord sometimes departs from his church and people, and hides his face from them; and may be said to return, when he manifests himself, shows his face and his favour again, and grants his gracious presence, than which nothing is more desirable; and if he, the Lord of hosts and armies, above and below, is with his people, none can be against them to their hurt; they have nothing to fear from any enemy:

look down from heaven: the habitation of his holiness, the high and holy place where he dwells, and his throne is, from whence he takes a survey of men and things; where he now was at a distance from his people, being returned to his place in resentment, and covered himself with a cloud from their sight; and from whence it would be a condescension in him to look on them on earth, so very undeserving of a look of love and mercy from him:

and behold; the affliction and distress his people were in, as he formerly beheld the affliction of Israel in Egypt, and sympathized with them, and brought them out of it:

and visit this vine; before described, for whom he had done such great things, and now was in such a ruinous condition; the visit desired is in a way of mercy and kind providence; so the Targum,

"and remember in mercies this vine;''

so the Lord visits his chosen people by the mission and incarnation of his Son, and by the redemption of them by him, and by the effectual calling of them by his Spirit and grace through the ministration of the Gospel; and which perhaps may, in the mystical sense, be respected here; see Luke 1:68.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts - Again come and visit thy people; come back again to thy forsaken land. This is language founded on the idea that God had withdrawn from the land, or had forsaken it; that he had left his people without a protector, and had left them exposed to the ravages of fierce foreign enemies. It is language which will describe what seems often to occur when the church is apparently forsaken; when there are no cheering tokens of the divine presence; and when the people of God, discouraged, seem themselves to be forsaken by him. Compare Jeremiah 14:8.

Look down from heaven - The habitation of God. As if he did not now see his desolate vineyard, or regard it. The idea is, that if he would look upon it, he would pity it, and would come to its relief.

And behold, and visit this vine - It is a visitation of mercy and not of wrath that is asked; the coming of one who is able to save, and without whose coming there could be no deliverance.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 80:14. Return - O God of hosts — Thou hast abandoned us, and therefore our enemies have us in captivity. Come back to us, and we shall again be restored.

Behold, and visit this vine — Consider the state of thy own people, thy own worship, thy own temple. Look down! Let thine eye affect thy heart.
