Psaume 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 ) .

2 Devant Ephraïm, Benjamin et Manassé, réveille ta force, Et viens à notre secours!

4 Eternel, Dieu des armées! Jusques à quand t'irriteras-tu contre la prière de ton peuple?

5 Tu les nourris d'un pain de larmes. Tu les abreuves de larmes à pleine mesure.
