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

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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

She sent out her boughs unto the sea - To the Mediterranean Sea on the one side.

And her branches - Her sucklings. The word is usually applied to little children, and means here the little branches that are nourished by the parent vine.

Unto the river - The Euphrates, for so the river usually means in the Scriptures. The Euphrates on the one side, and the Mediterranean Sea on the other, were the natural and proper boundaries of the country as promised to Abraham. See Psalms 72:8; 1 Kings 4:21. Compare the notes at Psalms 60:1-12.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 80:11. She sent out her boughs unto the sea and her branches unto the river. — The Israelitish empire extended from the River Euphrates on the east to the Mediterranean Sea on the west, and from the same Euphrates on the north of the promised land to its farthest extent on the south; Syria bounding the north, and Arabia and Egypt the south. And this was according to the promises which God had made to the fathers, Exodus 23:31; Deuteronomy 11:24.
