Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Commentary on the Psalms, Vol. 3
The Psalmist prays for help on behalf of the oppressed church, particularly on behalf of Joseph and Benjamin, ver. 1 - 3, and describes, in mournful language, their oppression in ver. 4-7.
In ver. 8 - 13, Israel appears under the image of a vine tree, which at first is carefully attended to, and had spread forth luxuriantly, but now 'had become altogether destroyed. In ver. 14 - 19, the Psalmist prays that God would again take this vine tree under his gracious protection.
Ver. 1-7 are evidently to be considered as an Introduction; and the individual character of the Psalm is to be found in the figure of the vine tree.
