1, 2. Joseph--for Ephraim ( 1Ch 7:20-29 Psa 78:67 Rev 7:8 ), for Israel.
Shepherd--(Compare Gen 49:24 ).
leadest, &c.-- ( Psa 77:20 ).
dwellest. . . cherubim-- ( Exd 25:20 ); the place of God's visible glory, whence He communed with the people ( Hbr 9:5 ).
shine forth--appear ( Psa 50:2 94:1 ).
2. Before Ephraim, &c.--These tribes marched next the ark ( Num 2:18-24 ). The name of Benjamin may be introduced merely in allusion to that fact, and not because that tribe was identified with Israel in the schism ( 1Ki 12:16-21; compare also Num 10:24 ).
3. Turn us--that is, from captivity.
thy face to shine-- ( Num 6:25 ).
4. be angry--(Compare Margin.)
5. bread of tears--still an Eastern figure for affliction.
6. strife--object or cause of ( Isa 9:11 ). On last clause compare Psa 79:4 Eze 36:4.
8-11. brought--or, "plucked up," as by roots, to be replanted.
a vine-- ( Psa 78:47 ). The figure ( Isa 16:8 ) represents the flourishing state of Israel, as predicted ( Gen 28:14 ), and verified ( 1Ki 4:20-25 ).
12. hedges-- ( Isa 5:5 ).
13. The boar--may represent the ravaging Assyrian and
the wild beast--other heathen.
14, 15. visit this vine--favorably ( Psa 8:4 ).
15. And the vineyard--or, "And protect or guard what thy right hand," &c.
the branch--literally, "over the Son of man," preceding this phrase, with "protect" or "watch."
for thyself--a tacit allusion to the plea for help; for
16. it--the "vine" or
they--the "people" are suffering from Thy displeasure.
17. thy hand. . . upon--that is, strengthen ( Ezr 7:6 8:22 ).
man of. . . hand--may allude to Benjamin ( Gen 35:18 ). The terms in the latter clause correspond with those of Psa 80:15, from "and the branch," &c., literally, and confirm the exposition given above.
18. We need quickening grace ( Psa 71:20 119:25 ) to persevere in Thy right worship ( Gen 4:26 Rom 10:11 ).
19. (Compare Psa 80:3, "O God"; Psa 80:7, "O God of hosts").
