Gill's Notes on the Bible
Turn us again, O Lord God of hosts,.... This is a repetition of Psalms 80:3, 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.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Turn us again, O Lord God of hosts ... - See Psalms 80:3, note; Psalms 80:7, note; Psalms 80:14, note. This is the sum and the burden of the psalm. The repetition of the prayer shows the earnestness of the people, and their conviction that their only hope in their troubles was that God would interpose and bring them back again; that he would be favorable to them, and lift upon them the light of his countenance. So with all. In our backslidings, our afflictions, and our troubles, our only hope is that God will bring us back to himself; our proper place is at the throne of mercy; our pleadings should be urgent, earnest, and constant, that he will interpose and have mercy on us; our solemn purpose - our expressed and recorded pledge - should be that if we are restored to God, we will wander no more. But, alas! how much easier it is to say this than to do it; how much easier to promise than to perform; how much easier to pledge ourselves when we are in affliction that if the troubles are removed we will be faithful, than it is to carry out such a purpose when the days of prosperity return, and we are again surrounded by the blessings of health and of peace. If all people - even good people - kept the vows which they make, the world would be comparatively a pure and happy world; if the church itself would only carry out its own solemn pledges, it would indeed arise and shine, and the world would soon be filled with light and salvation.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 80:19. Turn as again — Redeem us from this captivity.
O Lord God of hosts — Thou who hast all power in heaven and earth, the innumerable hosts of both worlds being at thy command.
Cause thy face to shine — Let us know that thou art reconciled to us. Let us once more enjoy thy approbation. Smile upon thy poor rebels, weary of their sins, and prostrate at thy feet, imploring mercy.
And we shall be saved. — From the power and oppression of the Chaldeans, from the guilt and condemnation of our sins, and from thy wrath and everlasting displeasure. Thus, O God, save US!
ANALYSIS OF THE EIGHTIETH PSALM
The parts of this Psalm are the following: -
I. A prayer, Psalms 80:1-3.
II. A complaint by way of expostulation, Psalms 80:4-7.
III. In the twelve last verses, to move God's mercy, he, 1. Shows God's love to Israel under the allegory of a vine, Psalms 80:8-12. 2. Deplores the waste made upon it, Psalms 80:12-13. 3. Prays for its restoration, Psalms 80:13-18.
IV. He makes a vow of perpetual service, Psalms 80:19.
I. The first part, his petition, Psalms 80:1. Psalms 80:1. For audience, Psalms 80:2. 2. For assistance, Psalms 80:3. 3. For grace to amend, Psalms 80:3.
The arguments he uses to induce the Lord to hear. 1. He was formerly their Shepherd. 2. He sat between the cherubim, on the mercy - seat. 3. He has only to shine forth, and show himself; and they shall be saved.
II. The second part, his complaint. He complains, 1. That God was angry with them. 2. That the people were in the most distressed circumstances, Psalms 80:5. 3. Of what they suffered from their neighbours, Psalms 80:6.
On which he redoubles his prayer. 1. Turn us. 2. Cause thy face to shine. And, 3. Then we shall be saved, Psalms 80:7.
III. The third part: what God had done for his people. 1. He brought the vine out of Egypt, Psalms 80:8. 2. He cast out the heathen, Psalms 80:8. 3. He planted it. 4. He prepared the soil for it. 5. He caused it to take deep root. 6. And it filled the land, from the river Euphrates to the Mediterranean Sea, Psalms 80:9-11.
He deplores the waste made upon it. 1. The fence was broken down. 2. It was spoiled by those who passed by, and by the wild beasts.
Then he prays, 1. Look down from heaven. 2. Visit this vine. 3. It is cut down. 4. It is burnt with fire. 5. Let thy power in its behalf be shown by the Man of thy right hand. See the notes.
Some think Zerubbabel is meant; others think the Jewish nation is thus called the son of man, and the man of God's right hand.
IV. The last part of the Psalm: gratitude and obedience are promised. 1. We will backslide no more, Psalms 80:18. 2. We are nearly dead; quicken us, and we will live to thee. 3. We will invoke thy name. We will serve thee alone, and never more bow down to any strange god, Psalms 80:18.
All these things considered, he thinks he has good ground for his prayer; and therefore confidently repeats what he had twice before said: "Turn us again, O Lord God of hosts, cause thy face to shine," &c.
