Psalms 80:8-10

Context

80:8 You uprooted a vine 1  from Egypt;

you drove out nations and transplanted it.

80:9 You cleared the ground for it; 2 

it took root, 3 

and filled the land.

80:10 The mountains were covered by its shadow,

the highest cedars 4  by its branches.

[80:8]  1 sn The vine is here a metaphor for Israel (see Ezek 17:6-10; Hos 10:1).

[80:9]  2 tn Heb “you cleared away before it.”

[80:9]  3 tn Heb “and it took root [with] its roots.”

[80:10]  4 tn Heb “cedars of God.” The divine name אֵל (’al, “God”) is here used in an idiomatic manner to indicate the superlative.
