4O Jehovah God of hosts, How long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?

7Turn us again, O God of hosts; And cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.

9Thou preparedst [room] before it, And it took deep root, and filled the land.
10The mountains were covered with the shadow of it, And the boughs thereof were [like] cedars of God.

Barnes' Notes
Albert Barnes (1798–1870) · Notes on the Whole Bible · 19th-century historical commentary
“Turn us again, O God of hosts ... - This verse is the same as Psalms 80:3, except that here the appeal is to the “God of hosts;” there, it is simply to “God.” This indicates greater earnestness; a deeper sense of the need of the interposition of God, indicated by the reference to his attribute as the leader of hosts or armies, and therefore able to save them. return to 'Top of Page'”
