Some commentators have linked son of man
to a specific king, but it seems unlikely in a psalm using various symbolic images to refer to the people of God. The phrase man of your right hand
may allude to the name Benjamin, in which case Psalm 80:17 is about the tribe of Benjamin rather than a particular king. The psalmist pleaded with God to intervene on behalf of the weak tribe of Benjamin and to protect them from the mighty Assyrians.
18 Que ta main soit sur l'homme de ta droite,Sur le fils de l'homme que tu t'es choisi!
