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 ) .
