Commentary on Psalms 80:1

Theological / Devotional

Give ear. See on Ps. 20:1 ; 55:1.

Shepherd of Israel. Israel is God’s flock (see on Ps. 23:1–4; cf. Ps. 74:1; 77:20; Ps. 78:52 ; 49:24).

Cherubims.Rather “cherubim” (see on Ps. 18:10). “Cherubims” is really a double plural, formed by affixing s, the sign of the English plural, to im, the sign of the Hebrew plural. For the cherubim on the ark, see on Ex. 25:18.
