Context of Psalms 80:17
15You planted it with your own right hand. You caused it to grow, like a strong son. 16But now the enemy has cut down your vine, and they have burned it with fire. Show them that you are angry with them, and destroy them! Give strength to the one who sits at your right hand. He is the man that you have chosen to serve you. 18Then we will never turn away from you. Give to us new life and strength, so that we may always worship you. 19Lord God Almighty, turn us to come back to you. Look at us with a smile on your face! Then we will be safe.

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
