Salmi 80:3 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 80:3

Turn us again, O God
From our captivity, as the Targum, into our own land; or return us backsliding sinners to thyself by repentance; turn us, and we shall be turned; for the prayer shows it was not in their power, but must be effected by the grace of God; or restore our souls, which have been wandering, and them to their former flourishing and comfortable condition:

and cause thy face to shine;
grant thy gracious presence, lift up the light of thy countenance; favour with the manifestations of thyself, the enjoyment of thee, and communion with thee through Christ; indulge us with the discoveries of thy love, the joys of salvation, the comforts of the Spirit, and larger measures of grace:

and we shall be saved;
be in a very happy and comfortable condition; see ( Psalms 4:6 Psalms 4:7 ) .

Salmi 80:3 In-Context

1 Salmo di Asaf, dato al capo de’ Musici, sopra Sosannim-edut. O PASTORE d’Israele, che guidi Giuseppe come una greggia, Porgi gli orecchi; Tu che siedi sopra i Cherubini, Apparisci in gloria.

2 Eccita la tua potenza davanti ad Efraim, ed a Beniamino, ed a Manasse; E vieni a nostra salute.

3 O Dio, ristoraci; E fa’ risplendere il tuo volto, e noi saremo salvati.

4 O Signore Iddio degli eserciti, Infino a quando fumerai tu contro all’orazione del tuo popolo?

5 Tu li hai cibati di pan di pianto, E li hai abbeverati di lagrime a larga misura.
