Salmi 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.

Salmi 80:19 In-Context

17 Sia la tua mano sopra l’uomo della tua destra, Sopra il figliuol dell’uomo che tu ti avevi fortificato.
18 E noi non ci trarremo indietro da te; Mantienci in vita, e noi invocheremo il tuo Nome.
19 O Signore Iddio degli eserciti, ristoraci; Fa’ risplendere il tuo volto, e noi saremo salvati.
