Context — Hear Us, O Shepherd of Israel
8You uprooted a vine from Egypt; You drove out the nations and transplanted it.
9You cleared the ground for it, and it took root and filled the land.
10The mountains were covered by its shade, and the mighty cedars with its branches.
11It sent out its branches to the Sea, and its shoots toward the River. 12Why have You broken down its walls, so that all who pass by pick its fruit?Cross References

Psalms 80:10 Summary
This verse, Psalms 80:10, describes how God's care and provision for the nation of Israel was like a vine that covered the mountains and mighty cedars with its shade and branches. It's a picture of how God wants to take care of us and help us grow, just like a gardener tends to a vine (as seen in John 15:1-5). The shade of the vine represents God's protective presence, and the branches covering the cedars show how God's power can overcome any challenge. Just like the vine, we can trust God to nurture and care for us, and reach out to bring comfort and nourishment to those around us.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the vine mentioned in Psalms 80:8-12?
The vine represents the nation of Israel, which God uprooted from Egypt and transplanted in the Promised Land, as seen in Psalms 80:8 and Exodus 19:5-6.
What does the shade of the vine signify in Psalms 80:10?
The shade of the vine symbolizes the protective and nourishing presence of God, much like the shade of the trees in the Garden of Eden provided comfort for Adam and Eve, as described in Genesis 2:9.
How does the image of the vine's branches covering the mighty cedars relate to God's power?
The picture of the vine's branches covering the mighty cedars illustrates God's power and provision, as the cedars were highly valued and symbolic of strength, much like the cedar wood used in the construction of the Temple in 1 Kings 5:6-10.
What is the significance of the mountains being covered by the vine's shade?
The mountains being covered by the vine's shade represents the extent of God's care and provision, as mountains often symbolize challenges or obstacles, and God's presence can overcome even the most daunting difficulties, as seen in Psalms 121:1-2.

Gill's Exposition on Psalms 80:10
The hills were covered with the shadow of it,.... Alluding to the land of Canaan, which was a mountainous and hilly country, at least some part of it; hence we read of the hill country of Judea, Lu
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 80:10
The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars. The hills were covered with the shadow of it.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Psalms 80:10
They grew so numerous, that they filled not only the fruitful valleys, but even the barren mountains. Goodly cedars; far differing from ordinary vines, whose boughs are weak and small, and creep upon the walls or ground.
Trapp's Commentary on Psalms 80:10
Psalms 80:10 The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof [were like] the goodly cedars.Ver. 10. The hills were covered, &c.] The Israelites grew amain in wealth, power, and multitude of men; witness their huge armies and valiant acts, though the country was not above 200 miles long, and 50 miles broad.
Ellicott's Commentary on Psalms 80:10
(10) Goodly cedars.—Literally, cedars of God. The branches of the vine are to grow to resemble the luxuriance of the most magnificent of all forest trees.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Psalms 80:10
Verse 10. The hills were covered] 6. The vine, carefully cultivated in a suitable soil, may be spread to any extent. In the land of Judea it formed shades under which the people not only sheltered and refreshed themselves in times of sultry heats; but it is said they even ate, drank, and dwelt under the shelter of their vines. See 1Kg 4:25; Micah 4:4; 1Mac 14:12. God so blessed the Jews, particularly in the days of David and Solomon, that all the neighbouring nations were subdued-the Syrians, Idumeans, Philistines, Moabites, and Ammonites.
Cambridge Bible on Psalms 80:10
10. The hills] The mountains. the goodly cedars] Cedars of God (El), those “which he hath planted,” the indigenous cedars of Lebanon, noblest of forest trees. Cp. “mountains of God” (Psalms 36:6). The alternative rendering of R.V. marg., And the cedars of God with the boughs thereof, gives the same sense as the LXX. The vine grew so that it overshadowed the mountainous country to the South, and the cedars of Lebanon on the North, an allusion to the ideal boundaries of the Promised Land, as described in Deuteronomy 11:24 (where ‘the wilderness’ = ‘the mountains’ here). That the next verse clearly refers to the Eastern and Western boundaries is an argument in favour of this interpretation.
Barnes' Notes on Psalms 80:10
The hills were covered with the shadow of it - That is, It made a shade, by its luxuriant foliage, on the hills in every part of the land; it seemed to cover all the hills.
