Gill's Notes on the Bible
Thou hast broken down all his hedges,.... Round about his vine, the church; see Psalms 80:12. A famous church was raised at Jerusalem, quickly after the death, resurrection, and ascension of Christ, which seemed to be well filled, fenced, and protected; but on a sudden a violent persecution arose, and the members of it were made havoc of, and the ministers of the word were scattered abroad, and which was the breaking down of the hedges; and what was done to the church was taken by Christ as done to himself, as it is here spoken of him; see Acts 8:1, and this might seem contrary to the word and oath of God, that his seed should endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven, Psalms 89:29, when the first Christian church was used in this manner; but that providence was overruled, for the spread of the Gospel, and the interest of Christ, in other parts; see Acts 8:4, and so no objection to what is before said:
thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin; the same as before, the church of Christ, which seemed to be so well built and fortified; see
Isaiah 26:1.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Thou hast broken down all his hedges - His walls or defenses; all that he relied on for safety.
Thou hast brought his strongholds to ruin - His towers, fortifications; defenses. The enemy has been suffered to destroy them. They are now heaps of ruins.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 89:40. Thou hast broken down all his hedges — Thou hart permitted the land to be stripped of all defence; there is not even one strong place in the hands of thy people.
