F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 80:1-7

“Turn Us Again, O God” Psalms 80:1-7 The ten tribes were in captivity, and the hearts of their brethren, still living at Jerusalem under the reign of David’s line, seem to have turned with great longing toward them. This psalm is full of intercession on their behalf. Three times, at the turning-points of the psalm, the refrain is repeated that God would turn them again and cause them to be saved, Psalms 80:3 ; Psalms 80:7 ; Psalms 80:19 . Note the ascending climax: God; God of Hosts;... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 80:1-19

Again we have a song out of the midst of distress. There is far more light and colour about it than in the previous one. The circumstances do not seem to be any more favourable than those described before. There is this difference however, between the two psalms. The first is mainly occupied with the disastrous conditions; this one begins with a prayer which is a recognition of the past relationship of God to His people. This is therefore a great song of God as Shepherd. The aspects of the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 80:1-19

LXXX. Then and Now. The Messianic Hope.— The Ps. depicts Judah’ s forlorn condition, first directly ( Psalms 80:1-Judges :) and then under the figure of a vine ( Psalms 80:8-:). It is divided into strophes by the refrain in Psalms 80:3; Psalms 80:7; Psalms 80:19. (In Psalms 80:3 insert “ of hosts” (LXX) as in Psalms 80:7; Psalms 80:19.) Probably also the refrain has fallen out after Psalms 80:13.Psalms 80:1 c. A rhetorical reminiscence of the time when the Ark ( 1 Samuel 4:4, 2 Samuel 6:2)... read more

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 80:1-19

INTRODUCTIONSuperscription.—“To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim-Eduth.” On “Shoshannim” see Introduction to Psalms 45:0. Probably “Shoshannim—Eduth” denotes “the melody or air ‘after’ or ‘in the manner of’ which the Psalm was to be sung. As the words now stand they signify ‘lilies, a testimony,’ and the two are separated by a large distinctive accent. In themselves they have no meaning in the present text, and must therefore be regarded as probably a fragment of the beginning of an older... read more

Charles Haddon Spurgeon

Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - Psalms 80:7

One Antidote for Many Ills November 9th, 1859 by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) "Turn us again, O Lord God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved." Psalms 80:7 . This seems to be the only prayer the Psalmist puts up in this Psalm, as being of itself sufficient for the removal of all the ills over which he mourned. Though he sighs over the strife of neighbors and the ridicule of foes; and lamenting the ill condition of the goodly vine, he deplores its broken hedges, and... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 80:1-19

Though we know not the occasion on which this song was composed, yet as the tribes still inhabited the land, it probably was written on the same occasion as the preseding, and prays for the same salvation. Psalms 80:1 . Thou that dwellest between the cherubims. In allusion to the shekinah, or visible glory, which dwelt upon the mercy seat, above the ark, and was overshadowed by the cherubim. Psalms 80:2 . Before Ephraim, and Benjamin, and Manasseh. The twelve tribes in the wilderness... read more
