14Return, O God of Hosts, we pray! Look down from heaven and see! Attend to this vine—
15the root Your right hand has planted, the son You have raised up for Yourself.

Psalms 80:16 Summary
[Psalms 80:16 tells us that when we turn away from God, we can expect His discipline and rebuke. This verse is saying that God's people, represented by the vine, had been hurt and damaged because of their sins, and they were perishing because of God's displeasure. Just like a vine needs care and nurturing to grow, our spiritual lives need attention and obedience to God's commands to thrive (as seen in John 15:1-17). By seeking God's mercy and forgiveness, we can be restored and revived, just like a vine that is pruned and cared for.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the vine in Psalms 80:16?
The vine in Psalms 80:16 refers to the nation of Israel, which God had chosen and nurtured, as seen in Isaiah 5:1-7 and Jeremiah 2:21. This vine had been planted by God's right hand, symbolizing His care and protection.
What does it mean to be cut down and burned?
To be cut down and burned means to be severely disciplined or judged by God, as mentioned in John 15:6, where Jesus says that branches that do not bear fruit are cut off and thrown into the fire. This is a consequence of turning away from God's commands and ways.
What is the rebuke of God's countenance?
The rebuke of God's countenance refers to the expression of God's displeasure or anger, as seen in Psalms 38:1, where the psalmist feels the heavy hand of God's displeasure. This rebuke can be a powerful warning to turn back to God and seek His forgiveness.
How does this verse relate to our lives today?
This verse serves as a reminder that God is a loving but also a just God, who disciplines those He loves, as mentioned in Hebrews 12:6. It encourages us to examine our relationship with God and to seek His mercy and restoration when we have strayed from His ways.
Reflection Questions
- What are the ways in which I have allowed my spiritual life to wither and be cut down, and how can I seek God's restoration?
- How do I respond to the rebuke of God's countenance in my life, and what are the steps I can take to return to a close relationship with Him?
- In what ways can I nurture my spiritual growth, just as a vine needs care and pruning to bear fruit, and what role does obedience to God's commands play in this process?
- What are the consequences of ignoring God's discipline and rebuke, and how can I learn from the example of the nation of Israel in this regard?
Gill's Exposition on Psalms 80:16
It is burnt with fire, it is cut down,.... That is, the vine of Israel, and the branch before spoken of, alluding to a vine, and its branches; which, when become unprofitable, are cut down or cut
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 80:16
It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance. They perish at the rebuke of thy countenance. "They" - i:e., the children of Israel.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Psalms 80:16
It is burned with fire, to wit, thy vineyard or branch. They perish; thy people of Israel, signified by the vine. So now he passeth from the metaphor to the thing designed by it. At the rebuke of thy countenance; through the effects of thine anger, without which their enemies could do them no hurt.
Trapp's Commentary on Psalms 80:16
Psalms 80:16 [It is] burned with fire, [it is] cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.Ver. 16. They perish] Scilicet palmites, et propagines, Psalms 80:10-11.
Ellicott's Commentary on Psalms 80:16
(16) It is burned.—This verse would certainly be far more intelligible, and also fit better into the rhythm, if it followed immediately after Psalms 80:13. The poet, while complaining that God fumed with anger while Israel prayed, would scarcely speak of themselves as perishing under His rebuke, which, in Psalms 76:6, is used of His attitude towards foes actually contending against Him. But if we read Psalms 80:13; Psalms 80:16 together, we avoid this:— “The boar out of the wood doth waste it And the wild beast of the field doth devour it: It is burned with fire, it is cut down; Let them (the beasts) perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.” (See also Note to next verse.)
Cambridge Bible on Psalms 80:16
16. The gender of the word shews that it refers to the vine. Cut down, as fit for nothing but fuel. Cp. Isaiah 33:12; Ezekiel 15:4. they perish &c.] The figure is dropped. The Israelites perish, for God has not merely hidden His face, but turned it upon them in anger. It has been conjectured that there has been some displacement of the text, and various rearrangements have been proposed. Thus Cheyne would read the verses in this order: 11, 14, 15, 12, 13, 16. Let them perish will then refer to Israel’s enemies. Then too there may have been some confusion between 15 b and 17 b.
Barnes' Notes on Psalms 80:16
It is burned with fire - That is, the vineyard. This is a description of the desolations that had come upon the nation, such as would come upon a vineyard if it were consumed by fire.
Whedon's Commentary on Psalms 80:16
16. It is burned with fire… cut down—As the tender vines are devoured by fire, so the nation had been wasted by foreign war and internal broils.
