Psalms 80:8-16
vine <01612> [a vine.]
drove <01644> [thou hast cast.]
This most elegant allegory, which is every where well supported, is frequently employed by sacred writers: see the Parallel Passages.
cleared <06437> [preparedst.]
root <08328> [to take.]
filled <04390> [and it.]
highest cedars <0730 0410> [goodly cedars. Heb. cedars of God.]
break down <06555> [broken.]
boars <02386> [The boar.]
This wild boar, {chazir,} is the parent stock of our domestic hog. He is much smaller, but stronger, and more undaunted, colour, an iron grey inclining to black; snout, longer than that of the common breed: ears comparatively short; tusks, very formidable; and habits, fierce and savage. He is particularly destructive to corn-fields and vineyards.
back <07725> [Return.]
Look <05027> [look down.]
root <03657> [vineyard.]
shoot <01121> [the branch.]
Or, "the Son," {ben,} or as 18 MSS., LXX., Vulgate, Syriac, Arabic, and Ethiopic read, {ben adam,} "Son of man;" which the Targumist renders {makla mesheecha,} "the King Messiah."

built a hedge ...... stones <05823 05619> [fenced it. or, made a wall about it.]
planted <05193> [planted.]
vine <08321> [the choicest vine.]
{Sorek,} in Arabic, {sharik,} certainly denotes an excellent vine; but some with Bp. Lowth, retain it as a proper name. Sorek was a valley lying between Askelon and Gaza, so called from the excellence of its vines.
built <01129> [and built.]
constructed <02672> [made. Heb. hewed. a winepress.]

disobedience .......... got cries <04939 06818> [but.]
The paronomasia, or play of words, is very remarkable here: he looked for {mishpat,} "judgment," but behold {mispach,} "oppression;" for {tzedakah,} "justice," but behold {tz‰dkah,} "a cry."
disobedience <04939> [oppression. Heb. a scab.]
got cries <06818> [a cry.]
