Psaume 80:19 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 80:19

Turn us again, O Lord God of hosts
This is a repetition of ( Psalms 80:3 Psalms 80:7 ) , in which may be observed an increase of the names or titles of the Divine Being: in ( Psalms 80:3 ) , it is only "O God"; in ( Psalms 80:7 ) "O God of hosts"; and here, "Lord God of hosts"; some have thought that the doctrine of the Trinity is here suggested; which is a better thought than that of Jarchi's, who supposes that three captivities of Israel are pointed at: but as it follows,

cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved;
it appears that this was the burden of their song, being in darkness and distress, that they might have the light of God's countenance, and therefore repeat it again and again.

Psaume 80:19 In-Context

17 Elle est brûlée, elle est coupée. Ils périssent devant le courroux de ta face.

18 Que ta main soit sur l'homme de ta droite, sur le fils de l'homme que tu t'es choisi;

19 Et nous ne nous détournerons plus de toi; rends-nous la vie, et nous invoquerons ton nom.

20 Éternel, Dieu des armées, rétablis-nous; fais luire ta face, et nous serons sauvés!
