Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him. Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not come under judgment. Indeed, he has crossed over from death to life. Truly, truly, I tell you, the hour is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. For as the Father has life in Himself, so also He has granted the Son to have life in Himself. And He has given Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man.

Gill's Exposition on Psalms 80:17
Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand,.... Which some understand of the people of Israel in general, beloved, supported, and strengthened, by the Lord: and others of the then king of Israel,
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 80:17
Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself. Let thy hand be upon the Man of thy right hand.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Psalms 80:17
Upon the man, to protect and strengthen him. Of thy right hand; whom thy right hand planted, ; whom thou hast loved and respected even as thy right hand, which is very dear to us, 18:8; compare ; thy Benjamin, whom he mentioned , to whose name he seems to allude, which signifies the son of the right hand, i.e. a dearly beloved son, as Benjamin was to Jacob. Son of man: by man, or son of man, he understands either, 1. The Messias, oft called in Scripture the Son of man: let him come, and let his kingdom be established, and so thine Israel shall be saved and delivered out of all its troubles. Or, 2. The royal family, the house of David, in whose safety and welfare. the happiness of the whole nation was wrapt up. Or rather, 3. The people of Israel, who are oft spoken of as one person, as God’ s son and first-born, , and here as one vine. And seeing all the foregoing complaints have been concerning the calamities of the people of Israel, it seems most reasonable to understand this prayer to be made for them; the rather, because the following clause here applied to the man and son of man, who thou madest strong for thyself, is used of the root or branch of the vine, .
Trapp's Commentary on Psalms 80:17
Psalms 80:17 Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man [whom] thou madest strong for thyself.Ver. 17. The man of thy right hand] i.e. Israel, or the Messiah.
Ellicott's Commentary on Psalms 80:17
(17) Man of thy right hand.—This is manifestly a continuation of Psa 80:15, and should follow it:— “Protect what thy right hand hath planted, The branch which thou hast made strong for thyself: Let thy hand be over the man of thy right hand, Over the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.” A fine instance of the mode in which the thought can pass naturally from the figurative to the literal. The man of God’s right hand is evidently the man protected by the right hand, but the expression introduces such a tautology that we suspect a misreading. In the words “son,” “son of man,” some see a reference to the Messiah. But the parallelism and context show that the poet is thinking of Israel as a community, of which the vine is the emblem.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Psalms 80:17
Verse 17. The man of thy right hand] The only person who can be said to be at the right hand of God as intercessor, is JESUS the MESSIAH. Let him become our Deliverer: appoint him for this purpose, and let his strength be manifested In our weakness! By whom are the Jews to be restored, if indeed they ever be restored to their own land, but by JESUS CHRIST? By HIM alone can they find mercy; through HIM alone can they ever be reconciled to God.
Cambridge Bible on Psalms 80:17
17. A repetition of Psa 80:15, dropping the metaphor. Extend Thy hand, put forth Thy power to protect the people which Thy right hand made into a nation and delivered from Egypt. The son of man describes it as affected by human frailty and therefore needing divine help. The personification of Israel as Jehovah’s son underlies the language of the verse. Possibly there is an allusion to Benjamin = ‘son of the right hand.’
Barnes' Notes on Psalms 80:17
Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand - Luther renders this, “Let thy hand guard the folks of thy right hand, and the people whom thou hast powerfully chosen.” The right hand is the place of
Whedon's Commentary on Psalms 80:17
17. Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand—That is, upon the man thou hast chosen for the first place of honour and confidence. The allusion is to the ancient custom of placing the first in honour at the right hand.
