Context of Psalms 80:14
12Why hast thou broken down its walls, So that all they that pass by the way do pluck it? 13The boar out of the wood doth ravage it, And the wild beasts of the field feed on it. Turn again, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: Look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine, 15And the stock which thy right hand planted, And the branch that thou madest strong for thyself. 16It is burned with fire, it is cut down: They perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 14Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts - Again come and visit thy people; come back again to thy forsaken land. This is language founded on the idea that God had withdrawn from the land, or had forsaken it; that he had left his people without a protector, and had left them exposed to the ravages of fierce foreign enemies. It is language which will describe what seems often to occur when the church is apparently forsaken; when there are no cheering tokens…Read the comment

But the useless leaves of profession, and the empty boughs of notions and forms…Read the comment
