Contextual Overview

⁸ You brought us out of Egypt as if we were a vine. You forced out other nations and planted us in the land. 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. ¹⁴ God All-Powerful, come back. Look down from heaven and see. Take care of us, your vine. ¹⁵ You planted this shoot with your own hands and strengthened this child. ¹⁶ Now it is cut down and burned with fire; you destroyed us by your angry looks. ¹⁷ With your hand, strengthen the one you have chosen for yourself.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The hills were covered with the shadow of it,.... Alluding to the land of Canaan, which was a mountainous and hilly country, at least some part of it; hence we read of the hill country of Judea, Luke 1:39 and to the nature of vines, which delight to grow on hills and mountains p: in a figurative sense this may denote the subjection of kings and kingdoms, comparable to hills, to the Israelites in the times of David and Solomon, 2 Samuel 8:1 and the exaltation of the church of Christ, in the latter day, over the hills and mountains, Isaiah 2:2. The Targum is,

"the mountains of Jerusalem were covered with the shadow of the house of the sanctuary, and of the houses of the schools:''

and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars; to these the righteous are compared, Psalms 92:13, the Targum is,

"the doctors, the mighty preachers, who are like to the strong cedars:''

the words may be rendered, "the boughs thereof cover the goodly cedars", or "cedars of God" q; that is, overrun and overtop the goodly cedars; alluding to vines running and growing upon high and goodly trees; and so may denote, as before, the power of Israel over the princes and potentates of the earth, comparable to cedars, the most excellent; as things most excellent have often the name of God added to them; see Psalms 104:16.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The hills were covered with the shadow of it - That is, It made a shade, by its luxuriant foliage, on the hills in every part of the land; it seemed to cover all the hills.

And the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars - Margin, as in Hebrew, cedars of God; that is, lofty, majestic cedars. See the notes at Psalms 65:9. The reference here is to the cedars of Lebanon, among the most majestic objects known to the Hebrews.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 80:10. The hills were covered — 6. The vine, carefully cultivated in a suitable soil, may be spread to any extent. In the land of Judea it formed shades under which the people not only sheltered and refreshed themselves in times of sultry heats; but it is said they even ate, drank, and dwelt under the shelter of their vines. See 1 Kings 4:25; Micah 4:4; 1Mac 14:12. God so blessed the Jews, particularly in the days of David and Solomon, that all the neighbouring nations were subdued-the Syrians, Idumeans, Philistines, Moabites, and Ammonites.
