Context of Psalms 80:17
15Even the stock which Your right hand has planted, And [look down on] the son that You have reared and strengthened for Yourself. 16It is burned with fire, it is cut down; They perish at the rebuke of Your [angry] appearance. Let Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand, Upon the son of man whom You have made strong for Yourself. 18Then we shall not turn back from You; Revive us and we will call on Your name. 19Restore us, O Lord God of hosts; Cause Your face to shine on us [in favor and approval], and we shall be saved.

Commentaries on Psalms 80:17
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 17The 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.Read the comment

The end of our redemption is, that we should serve Him who hath redeemed us, and not go back to…Read the comment
