Context of Psalms 80:14

12Why did you break down the stone fences around this vine? All who pass by are picking its fruit. 13Wild boars from the forest graze on it. Wild animals devour it. O God, commander of armies, come back! Look from heaven and see! Come to help this vine. 15Take care of what your right hand planted, the son you strengthened for yourself. 16The vine has been cut down and burned. Let them be destroyed by the threatening look on your face.

The church is like a vine, needing support, but spreading and fruitful. If a vine do not bring forth fruit, no tree is so worthless. And are not we planted as in a well-cultivated garden, with every means of being fruitful in works of righteousness? But the useless leaves of profession, and the empty boughs of notions and forms…Read the comment
