‏ Psalms 80:15

     15. And the vineyard—or, "And protect or guard what thy right hand," &c.

      the branch—literally, "over the Son of man," preceding this phrase, with "protect" or "watch."

      for thyself—a tacit allusion to the plea for help; for

‏ Psalms 80:17

     17. thy hand . . . upon—that is, strengthen (Ezr 7:6; 8:22).

      man of . . . hand—may allude to Benjamin (Ge 35:18). The terms in the latter clause correspond with those of Ps 80:15, from "and the branch," &c., literally, and confirm the exposition given above.
