What does Psalm 80:19 mean?
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
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.
