Psalm 80:17-19
New Catholic Bible
17 Let those who would burn it or cut it down
perish when confronted by your rebuke.
18 Let your hand rest upon the man at your right,[a]
the son of man that you yourself made strong.
19 Then we will never again turn away from you;
give us life and we will call upon your name.[b]
Footnotes
- Psalm 80:18 Man at your right: probably a reference to Israel, beloved son of the Lord (see Ex 4:22) or to the Davidic king who will lead the army in battle. Other suggestions put forth by scholars are Zerubbabel and Ezra, who presided over the restoration. Son of man: another word for “man” in the first half of this verse.
- Psalm 80:19 A vow to offer praise to God (see note on Ps 7:18).
