Psalms 80:7

7 Turn us again to yourself, O God of Heaven’s Armies. Make your face shine down upon us. Only then will we be saved.

Psalms 80:7 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 80:7

Turn us again, O God of hosts
The same with ( Psalms 80:3 ) , only instead of God there, here it is "the God of hosts"; the repetition of these words shows what was uppermost on the minds of God's people; what they were longing for, and most desirous of, namely, the light of God's countenance.

Psalms 80:7 In-Context

5 You have fed us with sorrow and made us drink tears by the bucketful.

6 You have made us the scorn of neighboring nations. Our enemies treat us as a joke.

7 Turn us again to yourself, O God of Heaven’s Armies. Make your face shine down upon us. Only then will we be saved.

8 You brought us from Egypt like a grapevine; you drove away the pagan nations and transplanted us into your land.

9 You cleared the ground for us, and we took root and filled the land.
